Aspects
of HIV from education to treatment
Providing
HIV treatment during armed conflict
Despite the interaction between HIV and armed conflict, few attempts
have been made to deliver HIV care programmes in conflict zones. It
is considered too difficult to provide in a safe and effective way.
A project run by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Bukavu,
eastern DRC, suggests otherwise.
TB
and HIV/AIDS control programmes: the need for greater collaboration
Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV and AIDS affect each other strongly. Control
programmes for the two diseases should also interact. This paper explores
options for linking TB and HIV and AIDS programmes, concluding that
a universal model is unlikely to suit all contexts.
Education
for the next generation of children affected by HIV
Education can prevent HIV infection, but the virus can damage and even
destroy education systems. How should the education sector respond to
the evolving nature of the epidemic? A paper from the Partnership for
Child Development, in the UK, makes recommendations for education .
Rural
development professionals face HIV and AIDS challenges
HIV and AIDS have hit rural livelihoods hard. How has the pandemic changed
the work of rural development professionals? What knowledge, skills
and attitudes do they need to meet the new challenges? Researchers from
Wageningen University in The Netherlands find some answers to these
questions.
