| More than two decades into the AIDS pandemic, substantial gains have been made in understand- ing how HIV is transmitted and its effects, including physiological, psychological and socioeconomic ones. At the community level, the epidemic has left populations devastated, resulting in an increased burden on countries to support people who are ill, as well as those who are left behind.

| Indonesia’s 13,000 sprawling islands are home to over 210 million people. In the late 1980s and through most of the 1990s, it seemed as though the country might be spared the worst of the HIV epidemic that had begun to make significant inroads into some other South-East Asian nations, such as Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand. But, by the year 2000, the surveillance system was beginning to record rises in HIV prevalence in a number of population groups with risky sexual and drug-taking behaviour.

| Young people are at the centre of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. This is true both in countries with a generalized epidemic and in those with a concentrated epidemic. Download this publication |
| Impact of mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection HIV among children is an increasing problem, particularly in the countries hardest hit by the AIDS pandemic (Table 1). It is wiping out years of progress in improving child survival and is already responsible for substantially increasing the mortality rates of children under 5 years of age (Fig. 1). The overwhelming majority of infected children acquire the infection through mother-to-child trans- mission (MTCT). The prevention of HIV infection in infants and young children is now a high priority and has been the rallying point for enhanced prevention and care efforts. Download this publication |
| It is acknowledged that both sero-surveillance and behavioural surveillance are important to ensure that proper impact analysis can be made on interventions and to keep track on the trends and longer term implications of the epidemic in PNG. The government of PNG has demonstrated high-level commitment by passing an Act of the National Parliament that has set the basis for its national response. The recently passed HIV/AIDS Management and Prevention Act 2003 has also created the necessary environment for a comprehensive response to HIV/AIDS in the country. Download this publication |

| HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa. More than 18 million Africans have died, more than 12 million African children have been orphaned because of AIDS, and another 28 million Africans are living with the virus today, the vast majority of them in the prime of their lives as workers and parents. Life expectancy is dropping, family incomes are being decimated, and agricul- tural and industrial efficiency is declining because of the epidemic. African nations and the international community have rec- ognized how disastrous the epidemic is to the African continent, and have concluded that past efforts to wage war against the virus have failed because Download this publication |
| Human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) together currently constitute one of the leading threats to human development. Institutions such as Save the Children UK (SC UK) have been building up much programme experience since the epidemic started having an impact on people’s lives in the mid to late 1980s. The severity of the epidemic, with the particular vulnerability of young people, has placed a huge responsibility on child-focused development agencies. They need to reflect on their experiences and take the lead in the promotion of good practices. Download this publication |
