This is the VOA Special English Health Report, from voaspecialenglish.com December first was World AIDS Day. The latest report on the epidemic provided some reason to celebrate. Experts say new HIV infections have fallen by seventeen percent since two thousand one. Estimates for sub-Saharan Africa are down by about fifteen percent. In East Asia new infections with the virus that causes AIDS have decreased almost twenty-five percent. In Eastern Europe, the epidemic has leveled off. But new infections appear to be rising again in some countries. The report came at the end of November from the UNAIDS program and the World Health Organization. It says HIV-related deaths appear to have reached their highest point in two thousand four. Since the peak, deaths have fallen by around ten percent as more people have received treatment. Experts credit the good news in the report at least in part to prevention programs, not just the natural progress of the epidemic. Yet the report points out that while the AIDS epidemic is changing, prevention programs are not. Karen Stanecki at UNAIDS says few programs, for example, are designed for people in secure relationships. Or people over twenty-five. Or the newly single. AIDS is the leading cause of death in women age fifteen to forty-four. Those are the main years for having children. The WHO is now advising infected women to begin antiretroviral drugs at fourteen weeks of pregnancy, instead of twenty-eight. Women are also advised to ...

Princess Kasune Zulu grew up in an Africa trying to make sense of the mystery illness claiming its people. As a child, she could not know the disease that claimed the lives of her parents and baby sister would go on to infect more than 100 million people. Left alone to care for her siblings, Princess later discovered she herself was HIV positive. But she heard a calling to become an advocate and ambassador for those affected by disease and poverty. From talking to truck drivers about AIDS to her providential work as a radio broadcaster, Princess has boldly stepped up to speak on behalf of the voiceless and forgotten. This book is her story.

This video from the International Labour Organization (ILO) offers practical step-by-step guidelines to help people living with HIV/AIDS to raise awareness and understanding in their workplaces. With contributions from more than a 100 people living with HIV, it is part of a unique training package developed with the Indian Network of People living with HIV/AIDS (INP+). It has been produced in both English and Hindi with the support of the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) and the President Emergency Funds for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
Towards Universal Access, a new report on scaling up HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment efforts, highlights gains in HIV testing and counselling, prevention of mother-to-child transmission and other areas. Here is a related story. MASERU, Lesotho, 30 September 2009 With nearly a quarter of its adult population living with HIV, the Kingdom of Lesotho has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the world. Average life expectancy here is just over 40 years, and the country is burdened by poverty and food insecurity. Nevertheless, Lesotho has embarked on a journey to reverse the spread of HIV and to make AIDS prevention, treatment and care accessible to all. The bottom line is that we cannot afford to have people infecting other people, and we cannot afford to have so many people dying and leaving their children behind, said Lesothos Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Mphu Ramatlapeng.

More info at: www.lifelab.biz This PSA (Public Service Announcement) 101 uses for a condom was aired on South African television back in 2000 on, MNet, DSTV & E-TV. This PSA won a Regional NTVA Silver Stone Award". Producer Brett Anderson-Terry Director: Bronwyn Moore
Thailand has a hidden subgroup of MSM who do not identify themselves as gay or bisexual and it is almost impossible to target HIV prevention outreach towards them. It is believed these men are among the men who meet in a secretive and marginalized fashion in parks, restrooms, or other public places with the intention of having sex elsewhere or at the public location. It is hard to estimate the number of men in this population, but it is estimated there are over 300 such locations in metropolitan Bangkok alone (TREAT ASIA, 2006). Frequently, the male-to-male sex between these often masculine-identified MSM happens quickly and furtively due to the location. This lack of time often leads to unsafe sex without condoms (MAP, 2005). In Chiang Mai, Mplus+s outreach workers estimate there are well over 30 such public places and they have a regularly updated hotspot map. This animation will be used on mobile phones and other portable devices and Mplus+ to target these hotspots on their weekly outreach. Primary project team members include: (1) Mr. Pad Thepsai (Outreach Manager: Mplus+, kamkadam@hotmail.com); (2) Dr. Christopher Walsh (Senior Lecturer The Open University, cswalsh@open.ac.uk); (2) Dr. Peeranuch Jantarakupt (Assistant Dean for Research and Graduate Studies: McCormick Faculty of Nursing, Payap University.

Based on the interview data of a significant transgender population in Chiang Mai, Mplus+ decided to produce an animation that empowers transgender individuals to negotiate condom use with their partners. This animation was piloted with the target population and the feedback was positive. More importantly, as an animation that is made exclusively for transgenders, the narrative itself resonates with transgenders lifeworlds and provides a catalyst for informed discussion in Mplus+s outreach to this population that goes beyond simply advocating condom use. It is about raising awareness and self esteem. Primary project team members include: (1) Mr. Pad Thepsai (Outreach Manager: Mplus+, kamkadam@hotmail.com); (2) Dr. Christopher Walsh (Senior Lecturer The Open University, cswalsh@open.ac.uk); (2) Dr. Peeranuch Jantarakupt (Assistant Dean for Research and Graduate Studies: McCormick Faculty of Nursing, Payap University, Peeranuch_J@payap.ac.th); and On-Anong Thammajinda (Lecturer: McCormick Faculty of Nursing, Payap University, onanongth@gmail.com) Animation by Red Sheep Studio (อนุชา หม่องเชย nunimaru@hotmail.com)
This animation is directed towards the diverse MSM population in Chiang Mai. Individuals in this group may identify as gay or bisexual and generally tend to be young. Thus, they missed out on the successful HIV campaigns of the 1990s and often have low perceptions about personal HIV risk. Recent reports suggest around 85% of Thai youth do not see HIV as something that they should be concerned about, even though 70% of all STI cases in Thailand occur among this group (IRINnews, 2006). This makes them an important population for Mplus+ to target with HIV prevention. Additional reports of sexually active young Thais show only 20-30% are using condoms consistently (UNAIDS, 2006). Public information on HIV prevention, which was once ubiquitous, has virtually disappeared and no mass public HIV prevention campaigns have been carried out for over a decade. Mplus+ recognises this and the serious decline in risk awareness among young MSM, which point to a likely increase in unsafe sexual behaviour. In Thailand, it is reported that HIV transmission is understood, but personal risk about sexual practices is not (TREAT ASIA, 2006). MSM seem to know about HIV prevention practices and tools (condoms and nonoil based lubricants), but still do not use them regularly and there is significant lack of knowledge regarding other STIs and prevention practices. This animation will be used to target young MSM and help them understand risk to HIV. Primary project team members include: (1) Mr. Pad ...
Thai MSW and migrant MSW primarily from the Shan, Karen & Burmese regions will benefit from this animation available in Thai and the 3 regional dialects. There are no recent reports of HIV prevalence among MSW in Chiang Mai, but in Bangkok the prevalence is reported to be 15.4% (venue-based) and 22.6% (street-based) suggesting prevalence among Chiang Mai MSW could also be dangerously high. Mplus+ understands Thai and Migrant MSW work across a variety of venues including bars, saunas, massage parlours, karaoke lounges, and brothels. Additionally, many work independently on the streets, in parks or cinemas. Because of the many different kinds of MSW that work in these establishments for different reasons, most work in isolation and many do not fully identify themselves as sex workers. As a result, they have little access to specific sexual health education or services and are most often underrepresented in current programming and advocacy (TREAT ASIA, 2006). It is important to point out that HIV epidemics move from vulnerable groups to the general population when there are links between the two. The link between MSM, MSW and women in Thailand is well established. Thus, women who have sexual relationships with MSM or MSW stand to benefit from the animation as well, as it aims to educate MSM and MSW who perceive themselves as low risk and who are not clear on the specifics of transmission in respect to the women they have sex with. These often cohabitating, primarily ...

University of Minnesota researchers have made groundbreaking advances in the prevention of HIV/AIDS. Researchers have identified a compound that, applied vaginally, can prevent transmission of the primate version of HIV. While its not a cure and the compound still must go through human clinical trials before it used to prevent HIV the research is a huge step toward prevention of the devastating disease that impacts 33 million people around the globe.

When it comes to talking about HIV/AIDS in rural Ethiopian communities, one of the major difficulties is that most women will not talk about the problem willingly, out of shyness, and the fear of isolation and discrimination if it is known they, or their partner is HIV positive.

The XVll International AIDS Conference begins in Mexico City on 3 August, following a pre-meeting for young people affected by AIDS. About 25000 participants, including political and public-health leaders, are expected to attend the global conference. Here is one in a series of stories being posted in the run-up to the events in Mexico. SPANISH TOWN, Jamaica, 25 July 2008 -- Andre Lennon, 20, is a soft-spoken young man with a confident nature and a gentle smile. He lives with his mother and grandmother in a cottage surrounded by a garden that he tends himself. It's a far cry from the life he grew up with, just a short distance away in one of the most notoriously rough areas of Jamaica. "I've been through a lot of crime and violence in my life," Andre said, describing how his father, uncle and best friend were killed, and his former home was burned down. Immersed from a young age in the culture of guns, Andre struggled to find his way. He easily could have become a so-called 'bad man'. But thanks to the work of UNICEF and one of its non-governmental partners, Children First, his life took a U-turn. To read the full story, visit: www.unicef.org
