Dr C Nzou Are the men more visible in church health facilitiesChidzewere Nzou
This document summarizes a presentation given at an International AIDS Conference on factors contributing to treatment interruptions among HIV-infected patients in Zimbabwe who have defaulted on anti-retroviral therapy. The presentation analyzed data from a survey of 125 patients across four mission hospitals. It found that the most common factors for males were difficulties swallowing medicines, feeling depressed from too many medicines to take daily, and lack of transport to clinics. For females, the top factors were lack of time due to work or school, forgetting to take drugs, and lack of encouragement or support. The conclusion called for more men-friendly health services, sensitization on gender-based violence, and targeted education of religious groups.

A Review Of Research On The Nature And Quality Of HIV Testing Services A Pro...Allison Thompson
This document provides a critical review of past research on HIV testing and proposes a new process-based approach. It summarizes that prior research focused on discrete aspects or outcomes of testing rather than conceptualizing testing as a dynamic process. Studies of behavioral and psychological outcomes produced inconsistent results due to not accounting for all elements of the testing process. The document argues future research should examine all aspects of the testing process and their interrelationships to better understand client and provider experiences and improve services. It identifies the key process elements as decision making, accessing services, counseling, and waiting for results.

Similar to Testing In A Towel, Testing In An Office (20)
This presentation on AFAO's recent work with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities was given by Michael Frommer at the SiREN Symposium in Perth, June 2016.
The document outlines a four-phase activity to develop culturally appropriate online health resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as well as several CALD populations in Australia. The activity will be overseen by ASHM and involves auditing existing resources, consulting with communities, developing new resources, distributing and promoting them, and evaluating their uptake. Key steps include establishing advisory committees, reviewing current resources, holding workshops to prioritize new materials, subcontracting organizations to create resources, and measuring the impact through surveys and web analytics. The goal is to prevent blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections among these at-risk communities through improved health education.
The document discusses changes to the structure and priorities of AFAO for 2016/17. Due to funding changes, AFAO's international program will expand while its domestic program shrinks. Some staff will leave and the organization will restructure accordingly. Key priorities will include leadership and communications, advocacy, coordination, policy, capacity building, and international work. The organization will need to work smarter with its reduced capacity by collaborating with other community organizations.
