  1. Report on people who inject drugs in the South-East Asia Region

    This assessment examines the current situation of HIV and injecting drugs and of the national responses. The focus is on countries with a high and medium burden of illicit drug injecting. In most of these countries people who inject drugs are either HIV infected or have the potential for being infected. The countries reviewed are Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal and Thailand. National responses to reduce the HIV prevalence among people who inject drugs vary. …

  2. A strategy to halt and reverse the HIV epidemic among people who inject drugs in Asia and the Pacific 2010-2015

    This document is a call to action and a road map to ensure that the HIV and hepatitis epidemics among people who use drugs and their sexual partners in the Asia Pacific region will be halted. It is a collective product prepared on behalf of the United Nations Regional Task Force on Injecting Drug use and HIV for Asia and the Pacific. The strategy is designed to provide a regional framework, and it identifies issues and priorities and provides guidance to countries in the region for developing national strategic responses over the next six years. …

  3. Vulnerabilidad asociada a la transmisión de VIH entre usuarios de drogas del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires y ocho ciudades de Brasil (1998-2004)

    Estudio sobre vulnerabilidad y desventaja social en usuarios de drogas en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires y ocho ciudades de Brasil. El análisis de las situaciones de desventaja social como vulnerabilidad se diferencia de ciertas perspectivas centradas en el reconocimiento de factores de riesgo, más cercanas a una apreciación tradicional desde lo médico-epidemiológico; como también de ciertas perspectivas que trabajan los fenómenos de la pobreza, el desempleo o la imposibilidad de acceso a servicios y derechos sociales básicos como fenómenos de exclusión. …

  6. Blame and banishment: the underground HIV epidemic affecting children in Eastern Europe and Central Asia

    This report highlights the issues faced by children living with HIV, adolescents engaged in risky behaviors, pregnant women using drugs, and the more than one million children and young people who live or work on the streets of the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region. Marginalized young people are exposed on a daily basis to multiple risks, including drug use, commercial sex and other exploitation and abuse, putting them at higher risk of contracting HIV. The trends are especially troubling, as the region is home to 3.7 million injecting drug users - almost a quarter of the world's total. …

The key focus was on vocational education and sustainable livelihoods, with drug and HIV awareness running as transversal themes. This research aims to improve our understanding of broad ranging education activities, within the government, nongovernment and private sectors. …

  8. Characterizing the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Middle East and North Africa: time for strategic action

    Despite a fair amount of progress on understanding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemiology globally, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is the only region where knowledge of the epidemic continues to be very limited, and subject to much controversy. This report addresses this dearth of strategic information on HIV infections in MENA through a joint effort of the World Bank, the MENA Regional Support Team (RST) of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and the Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office (EMRO) of the World Health Organization (WHO). …

    El ONUSIDA encargó el presente informe para investigar programas y sitios en países en desarrollo y en transición considerados por las autoridades internacionales "sitios de cobertura alta", esto es, donde más del 50% de los consumidores de drogas intravenosas había sido contactado por una o más intervenciones para la prevención del VIH. Se estudiaron siete sitios en total, a saber: Soligorsk (Belarús); Paskov (Federación de Rusia); Sumy (Ucrania); Dhaka (Bangladesh); Rajshahi (Bangladesh); Región Administrativa Especial de Hong Kong (China), y Salvador (Brasil). …

  13. Law, policy and HIV in Asia and the Pacific: Implications on the vulnerability of men who have sex with men, female sex workers and injecting drug users

    HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and surveillance among most-at-risk-populations (MARP) are impacted by national laws and policies. Laws criminalizing behaviours of most-at-risk populations, as well as the absence of protective policies and laws (for example, harm reduction policies, national HIV policies, HIV laws, and constitutional and international provisions supporting human rights) all act as barriers to effective HIV interventions, thus increasing the vulnerability of these groups. …

  14. HIV/AIDS interventions in Bangladesh: What can application of a social exclusion framework tell us?

    Bangladesh has maintained a low HIV prevalence (of less than 1%) despite multiple risk factors. However, recent serological surveillance data have reported very high levels of HIV infection among a subgroup of male injecting drug-users (IDUs). This suggests that an HIV/AIDS epidemic could be imminent in Bangladesh. Although biomedical and behavioural change projects are important, they do not address the root causes of observed risky behaviours among high-risk groups. …
