HIV, Resurgent Infections and Population Change in Africa by Michel Caraël,Judith Glynn Pdf

Forty years ago, the age-old battle against infectious diseases as a major threat to human health was believed close to being won. However, by the late twentieth century, the increase of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases was evident in both low and high income countries. About 30 new infectious diseases have been identified in the last 20 years. Among the "new" diseases, and most importantly, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic, with 40 million persons infected and 25 million deaths since its first description, presents one of the most significant health, societal and security challenges facing the global community. The interaction of HIV/AIDS with tuberculosis, malaria and bacterial infections have increased HIV-related morbidity and mortality, and in turn, the HIV pandemic has brought about devastating increases in tuberculosis. Understanding the population impact and the dynamics of infection diseases in the most affected region is critical to efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality of such infections, and for decisions on where to use limited resources in the fight against infections. This book aims to contribute to these efforts by offering a demographic and epidemiological perspective on emerging and reemerging infections in sub-Saharan Africa.

Growing Up with HIV in Zimbabwe by Ross Parsons Pdf

"Zimbabwe stands at the epicentre of the global HIV epidemic. Families are severely depleted by death and migration. HIV infection is often lived in secrecy despite obvious physical manifestations. This study seeks to describe the specificity of the Zimbabwean context as it affects the lives of HIV-positive children in the eastern town of Mutare at a time of severe crisis in the state, marked by impoverishment, organised violence and mass death." -- Book jacket.

Employers' Handbook on HIV/AIDS by UNAIDS,Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS. Pdf

Inevitably, HIV/AIDS has taken its toll on workforces, production systems, markets, and local communities. As a result, companies of all types face higher costs in terms of training, insurance benefits, absenteeism and illness. Based on feedback from members of the International Organization of Employers (IOE) and through IOE's extensive business networks, this handbook documents selected initiatives in the workplace designed to minimize the impact of HIV/AIDS and to maximize prevention efforts. These include educating employees about HIV/AIDS, promoting changes in attitudes and behavior towards sex, and in some cases, establishing care and treatment programs to treat workers and families. The handbook also provides details of results obtained and lessons learned by employers worldwide.
