Haacker, MarkusClaeson, Mariam2012-03-192012-03-192009978-0-8213-7800-7https://hdl.handle.net/10986/2598This book offers an original perspective on HIV and AIDS as a development issue in South Asia, a region with a heterogeneous epidemic and estimated national HIV prevalence rates of up to 0.5 percent. The analysis challenges the common perception of HIV and AIDS, which has been shaped to a large extent by analysis of HIV and AIDS in regions with much higher prevalence rates. The chapters, most of which were commissioned specifically for this volume, can be grouped in three broad themes - the epidemiology of HIV and prevention strategies (chapters one and two), economic and development impacts of HIV and AIDS (chapters three and four), and the implications of HIV and AIDS for the health sector (chapters five and six). Within each theme, one chapter provides a more general discussion of the respective issues in the region (chapters one, three, and five), and one chapter highlights aspects of the respective issue in one particular country (with chapter two dealing with HIV in Afghanistan, and chapters four and six discus sing aspects of the impact of or the response to HIV and AIDS in India). Regarding the broad development themes identified by this book, chapters one and two highlight the epidemiological risks. Chapter three surveys the intersection of HIV and AIDS and key development objectives, and is complemented by chapters four and five. The forward-looking discussion of the challenges of scaling up (chapter five) is complemented by an analysis of the costs of antiretroviral treatment (ART) in India (chapter six) and a cross-country analysis of access to treatment (in chapter three).CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO PREVENTIONACCESS TO TREATMENTADDICTIONADHERENCE TO TREATMENTAGE DISTRIBUTIONAGEDAIDS AWARENESSAIDS CASESAIDS DISEASEAIDS PANDEMICAIDS PATIENTSAIDS PREVENTIONAIDS PREVENTION PROGRAMAIDS PROGRAMAIDS PROGRAMSAIDS TREATMENTANAL INTERCOURSEANTENATAL CAREANTENATAL CLINICANTENATAL CLINICSBEHAVIOR CHANGEBEHAVIORAL SURVEILLANCEBLOOD TESTSBLOOD TRANSFUSIONBROTHELSCASUAL PARTNERSCHILD CARECLEAN NEEDLESCLINIC PATIENTSCLINIC PROGRAMCOMMERCIAL SEXCOMMERCIAL SEX WORKCONDOMCONDOM DISTRIBUTIONCONDOM PROMOTIONCONDOM USECONDOMSCRIMEDEMOGRAPHIC IMPACTDEMOGRAPHIC IMPACTSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDIAGNOSISDIAGNOSTIC TESTSDISCRIMINATIONDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDRUG INJECTORSDRUG REGIMENSDRUGSECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEFFECTIVE PREVENTIONEPIDEMICEPIDEMICSEPIDEMIOLOGICAL EVIDENCEEPIDEMIOLOGYEXTRAMARITAL SEXFAMILIESFAMILY HEALTHFAMILY HEALTH INTERNATIONALFAMILY WELFAREFEASIBILITY STUDIESFEMALE PARTNERSFEMALE SEX WORKERSFEMALESFUTURE GROWTHGENITAL ULCERGENITAL ULCERSHARM REDUCTIONHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SYSTEMSHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SURVEYSHEALTH SYSTEMSHIGH-RISKHIGH-RISK BEHAVIORSHIGH-RISK GROUPSHIGH-RISK SEXUAL BEHAVIORHIVHIV DATAHIV INFECTIONHIV INFECTIONSHIV POSITIVEHIV PREVENTIONHIV PREVENTION INTERVENTIONSHIV TRANSMISSIONHIV/AIDSHOSPITALHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD LEVELHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUSBANDSILLNESSILLNESSESINEQUITIESINJECTING DRUG USEINJECTING DRUG USERSINTERCOURSEINTERNAL MIGRANTSINTERVENTIONLABOR SUPPLYLACK OF KNOWLEDGELEGAL STATUSLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLOW PREVALENCEMALE CIRCUMCISIONMALE PARTNERSMALE SEXMEDICAL COSTSMENTAL HEALTHMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMORTALITYMUCOSAL SURFACEMULTIPLE SEXUAL PARTNERSNATIONAL AIDSNATIONAL AIDS CONTROLNATIONAL AIDS STRATEGIESNATIONAL BORDERSNATIONAL FAMILY HEALTH SURVEYNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATIONAL HEALTHNATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMSNATIONAL PLANNATIONAL POPULATIONNEEDLE EXCHANGENEEDLE SHARINGNEEDLESNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSNUMBER OF PEOPLENUMBER OF REFUGEESOPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONSORPHANSPARTICULAR COUNTRYPEER EDUCATIONPHYSICIANSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL UNRESTPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION GROWTHPREGNANT WOMENPREMARITAL SEXPRETEST COUNSELINGPREVALENCE RATEPREVALENCE RATESPREVENTION ACTIVITIESPREVENTION EFFORTSPREVENTION INTERVENTIONSPREVENTION STRATEGIESPRISONSPRIVATE PROVIDERSPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH SERVICESREAGENTSREFUGEESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CAREREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESRESOURCE CONSTRAINTSRESPECTRETURNEESRISK BEHAVIORRISK FACTORSRISK OF INFECTIONRISK OF TRANSMISSIONRISK POPULATIONSRISKY BEHAVIORRISKY BEHAVIORSRURAL AREASSEXSEX PARTNERSSEX WITH MENSEX WORKSEX WORKERSSEXUAL BEHAVIORSEXUAL ENCOUNTERSSEXUAL NETWORKSSEXUAL PARTNERSEXUAL PARTNERSSEXUAL PARTNERSHIPSEXUAL PARTNERSHIPSSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPSEXUAL TRANSMISSIONSEXUALLY ACTIVESEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASESEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL CHANGESSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSPOUSESSTATUS OF WOMENSTDSTD CONTROLSTDSSTISSTREET CHILDRENSURVEILLANCE DATASYPHILISSYRINGESTBTHERAPYTREATMENT REGIMESTREATMENT SERVICESULCERUNAIDSUNMARRIED PEOPLEUNPROTECTED SEXUNSAFE BLOODUNSAFE SEXURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSVIRAL LOADVIRUSVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWARYOUNG ADULTSYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7800-7
