Lule, Elizabeth L.Seifman, Richard M.David, Antonio C.2012-03-192012-03-192009978-0-8213-7651-5https://hdl.handle.net/10986/2648The HIV/AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa remains a long-term development challenge for the region. Nearly 12 million African children have been orphaned as a result of the disease, and 22.5 million people in Africa 61 percent of them women live with HIV. The hyperepidemics in Southern Africa have diluted poverty reduction efforts and in several countries substantially reduced life expectancy. The critical need to address this development problem is reflected in the sixth Millennium Development Goal (MDG), which seeks to halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015 and to make access to treatment for HIV/AIDS universal for all those who need it by 2010. With Sub-Saharan Africa representing nearly two-thirds of those living with HIV globally, and the fact that human development indicators of several countries in the region lag far behind the rest of the world, prospects for Sub-Saharan Africa reaching any of the MDG goals will require a sustained response to HIV/AIDS. Reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS is closely linked to combating other major diseases referenced in sixth MDG, promoting gender equality (MDG 3), reducing child mortality (MDG 4) and improving maternal health (MDG 5).CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO TREATMENTACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROMEADULT MORTALITYADULT POPULATIONAGEDAIDS CONTROLAIDS EPIDEMICSAIDS IMPACTAIDS PREVENTIONAIDS PROGRAMAIDS PROGRAMSAIDS RELIEFAIDS SERVICE ORGANIZATIONSAIDS SPENDINGANTENATAL CLINICANTENATAL CLINICSBEHAVIOR CHANGEBRAINBRAIN DRAINCHILD HEALTHCHILD MORTALITYCHILD-TRANSMISSIONCOMMERCIAL SEXCOMMERCIAL SEX WORKERSCOMMUNICATION CHANNELSCONDOM USECONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIAGNOSISDIAGNOSTICSDISABILITYDISCRIMINATIONDISEASEDISEASE CONTROLDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDRUG ADMINISTRATIONDRUG RESISTANCEDRUG THERAPYDRUG USEDRUGSEARLY DETECTIONEARLY MARRIAGEEFFECTIVE PREVENTIONEMERGENCY PLANEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMPOWERING WOMENEPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSISEPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATAEPIDEMIOLOGYFEMALE CONDOMFEMALESGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER ISSUESGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGENDER RELATIONSGENITAL ULCERSGLOBAL AIDS EPIDEMICGLOBAL HIV/AIDSGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEHEALTH CAREHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH MINISTRIESHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SURVEYSHEALTH WORKERSHERPESHERPES SIMPLEXHERPES SIMPLEX VIRUSHIGH-RISK BEHAVIORHIGH-RISK GROUPSHIVHIV INFECTIONHIV INFECTIONSHIV POSITIVEHIV PREVENTIONHIV TESTINGHIV TRANSMISSIONHIV/AIDSHIV­POSITIVEHIV­POSITIVE PEOPLEHOSPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSILLNESSIMMUNE DEFICIENCYIMMUNE SYSTEMIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNIZATION PRACTICESIMMUNODEFICIENCYIMPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCE SCHEMESINTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON POPULATIONINTRAVENOUS DRUG USERSLARGE CITIESLEGAL STATUSLEPROSYLIFE EXPECTANCYMALARIAMALE CIRCUMCISIONMATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTHMATERNAL HEALTHMEDICAL PROFESSIONALSMEDICINEMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMOTHERMOTHER-TO-CHILDMOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSIONMULTI-COUNTRY AIDSMULTIPLE PARTNERSMULTIPLE SEXUAL PARTNERSNATIONAL AIDSNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMSNATIONAL PRIORITIESNEW INFECTIONSNUCLEOSIDE REVERSENUMBER OF AIDS DEATHSNUMBER OF PEOPLENURSESNURSINGNUTRITIONOFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEOLD MENORAL REHYDRATIONORAL REHYDRATION SALTSORAL REHYDRATION THERAPYORPHANORPHANSPANDEMICPARTNER REDUCTIONPATIENTSPEOPLE LIVING WITH AIDSPHYSIOLOGICAL VULNERABILITYPOLICY MAKERSPOPULATION ACTIVITIESPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION GOALPOPULATION SIZEPOSTEXPOSURE PROPHYLAXISPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREGNANT WOMENPREVALENCE RATEPREVALENCE RATESPREVENTION EFFORTSPREVENTION INTERVENTIONSPREVENTION OF MOTHER-TO-CHILD TRANSMISSIONPREVENTION STRATEGIESPROGRESSPROMOTING GENDER EQUALITYPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC POLICYQUALITY ASSURANCEREGIONAL STRATEGIESRELIGIOUS LEADERSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRESISTANT TUBERCULOSISRESOURCE NEEDSRISK OF EXPOSURERISK OF INFECTIONRISK POPULATIONSRISK REDUCTIONRISKY BEHAVIORRURAL WOMENSECONDARY EDUCATIONSERVICE PROVISIONSEX WITH MENSEX WORKSEX WORKERSEXUAL BEHAVIORSEXUAL CONTACTSEXUAL PARTNERSSEXUAL PRACTICESSEXUALLY ACTIVESEXUALLY ACTIVE MENSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SUPPORTSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSTISSUBSTANCE ABUSESUPPLY CHAINSSYMPTOMSSYRINGESTBTREATMENT SERVICESTUBERCULOSISUNAIDSUNINFECTED PEOPLEUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNIVERSAL ACCESS TO TREATMENTUNPROTECTED SEXUNSAFE SEXUSE OF HEROINVACCINESVIRGINITYVOLUNTARY COUNSELINGVULNERABILITYVULNERABILITY OF WOMENVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWOMANWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG ADULTSYOUNG GIRLSYOUNG MENYOUNG WOMENWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7651-5
