 | Many people contributed to the Stigma-AIDS eForum discussions on HIV/AIDS. Thanks must be extended first and foremost to all the eForum members, and particularly those who actively participated throughout the dis- cussion and shared their experiences and knowledge so willingly. Coming from all corners of the world, this honesty and enthusiasm made the discussions on the Stigma-AIDS eForum particularly rich, meaningful and insightful. Download this publication |
| Most adults who die of AIDS have older-aged parents who survive them. This, the first quantitative study in Cambodia to look at the impact of the death of a child due to AIDS on their older parents, directly contributes to "improving data collection and analysis on the status, trends and socioeconomic impact of the epidemic," a recommendation specifically set out by Cambodian government in their efforts to meet the United Nations Millennium Goals. Findings from this study can inform policy aimed at mitigating the impact of the epidemic on older persons. Download this publication |

| The HIV Epidemiological Modelling and Impact (HEMI) Study was commissioned by the Australian Government for the Governments of Papua New Guinea (PNG), Indonesia and East Timor. The research was conducted by New South Global Pty Limited in 2005. An epidemiological model was developed to project the future course of the HIV epidemic over the period 2005–2025 in PNG, Indonesia and East Timor under three scenarios. The first scenario assumed that HIV interventions remain at current levels (baseline scenario). The second and third scenarios assumed increases in HIV interventions to medium and high response levels. Download this publication |

The Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Pacific developing member countries (PDMC) recorded 10,500 HIV/AIDS cases by the end of 2004. However, this figure could underestimate the actual number of people infected with the virus, as surveillance systems only now are being developed and data on groups with high-risk behaviors remain limited.

| Every day, thousands of children in the Pacific encounter numerous threats to their security and well-being: poverty, hunger, labour, sexual abuse, social instability and political upheaval. Today, they face an additional threat that not only menaces their lives, but could also unravel their countries’ development gains of the past 30 years and ultimately, wipe out the Pacific’s unique blend of different ethnicities and cultures: AIDS.

| Asian Development Bank (ADB) support for HIV/AIDS1 activities in the Pacific has been limited to date. In October 2004, Director, Area B, Pacific Department, attended the Pacific Parliamentarians’ meeting on HIV/AIDS in Suva, Fiji Islands and discussed common issues of concern with representatives of a number of Pacific governments, development partners, and regional agencies, including the Pacific Islands Forum and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). In January 2005, a mission participated in the SPC Regional Strategy on HIV/AIDS Implementation meeting, and consulted with key Pacific regional stakeholders in HIV/AIDS. Download this publication |
