International Responses To The HIV/AIDS Pandemic
The epidemic is not out of control everywhere; some countries and communities have managed to stabilize HIV rates or achieve a turnaround, and some have maintained very low prevalence rates, due to range of factors that are not yet fully understood. Other communities have made significant progress on care and support for people both infected and affected
The initial reaction of many countries to the pandemic was to try to persuade individual and selected groups to change their behavior by providing information about HIV/AIDS.

    of the infected,and also ensure adequate allocation of

    The government has been keen on protecting the rights of those infected from cruelty and torture as anyone found assaulting or harassing them because of their situation or making their status public without their consent is normally charged in court

    The government on the hand needs to stand with the affected.it should provide economic support by maybe taking them for a workshop for them to learn and do some little work so that they can manage their needs and for the whole family.

    Strict laws have been put against cultural practices that may give one a risk of HIV infection or transmission.. .
    The action of giving free ARVs has helped the infected people very much but what of the affected who have borrowed and begged to raise funds for their infected loved ones... The government should also give a hand to the affected persons

TYPES OF HIV TEST

1.Antibody tests The most common HIV test is an antibody test. Antibodies are part of your immune system that are produced when you come into contact with an infection. Antibody tests look for this immune response. These tests can be finger-prick tests or use blood samples sent to a laboratory. If this result is negative or non-reactive, then you are HIV negative. If the result is positive this does not mean that you definitely have HIV, although it is likely. A small percentage of people can have a ‘false-positive’ result. All positive results need to be confirmed by a second test. In the UK a more sensitive antibody test called a western blot test is usually used to confirm a positive result. The western blot test takes longer (usually a week). It identifies genuine positive results. HIV antibody tests do not work as soon as you are infected because it usually takes four weeks for your body to generate antibodies to HIV. The time between infection and when your body ...

DRUG ABUSE CONTRIBUTION TO HIV/AIDS SPREAD

DRUG ABUSE CONTRIBUTION TO HIV /AIDS SPREAD Drug abuse is the over or under use  of any substance that alternates the normal functioning of the body. Drug abuse has been a great contributor to the spread  of HIV/AIDS. Do drugs contribute to the Spread  of HIV and how? It  increases the likely hood  of users to engage in high-risk  sexual practice   with infected individuals. Drug abuse also interferes with  effectiveness  of HIV treatment. Addicts may engage in sexually risky behaviors to obtain drugs or money for drugs. Sharing of needles while doing  drugs also exposes users to  infection since no one really  bothers about  the status of the other drug user. Abuse of substance      increases cancer risk ( ie)  most HIV patients  are smokers hence increased  incidence of lung cancer shortening the lifespan of the patient . Research shows that drug abuse causes greater  injury to...
