Positive Voice: Emerging Governance Issues on HIV and AIDS in Asia. actionaid international (2006)
|
At the HIV and AIDS regional meet of ActionAid International in August 2005, participants set out the mandate for the organisation's second report on HIV and AIDS. Its primary thrust was that AIDS is a political issue. The statement emerging from the meet further outlined its wider linkages – as an issue of people's rights, of human and economic development, dignity and well-being. It advocated intensifying the HIV and AIDS control efforts by addressing the political will of all concerned, with the objective of creating conditions that decrease vulnerability to HIV as well as ensuring access to means of prevention and treatment.

A Scaled-Up Response to AIDS in Asia and the Pacific. UNAIDS (2005)
|
The countries of Asia and the Pacific stand at a crossroads, facing two diverging routes to the future. One route is “business as usual”. Though the easiest and cheapest route to take at the beginning, it ends up in rising levels of HIV infection and a toll far higher than the estimated 500 000 AIDS-related deaths that occurred in the region during 2004. The other route is one of determined prevention and care initiatives. Harder and more expensive at the beginning, it ends up stopping the epidemic in its tracks, and minimizing both its human and economic costs. Download this publication |
A Summary of the Project, Its Implementation and Results: ADB’s Regional HIV/AIDS Project 2001-2004. ADB (2005)
|
HIV/AIDS is a significant public health problem in all three countries. In Cambodia HIV prevalence rates have fallen from 2.6% to 1.9% among adults aged 15-49 1 , but remain among the highest in the region – with some 123,000 people living with HIV. In Vietnam, while national prevalence is still low, HIV has been reported in all provinces and is relatively high, over 10%, among sex workers and injecting drug users – two key high risk groups. In Laos prevalence is still very low, and is largely confined to the two larger cities (Vientiane and Savannakhet) – yet STD rates among service women are very high in a number of provinces, and Laos’ relatively porous borders with Thailand and Cambodia suggest significant vulnerability2. In the case of Cambodia and Vietnam, HIV has spread sufficiently that both countries need strong, grass-roots prevention programmes to ensure it does not spread more widely, and will face significant burdens of care as those already infected progress towards AIDS. In Laos, there is an opportunity to contain the spread of HIV. Download this publication |

HIV- Related Stigma, Discrimination and Human Rights Violations: Case Studies of Successful Programmes. UNAIDS (2005)
|
From the start of the AIDS epidemic, stigma and discrimination have fuelled the trans- mission of HIV and have greatly increased the negative impact associated with the epidemic. HIV-related stigma and discrimination continue to be manifest in every country and region of the world, creating major barriers to preventing further infection, alleviating impact and providing adequate care, support and treatment.
