DOWNLOAD EBOOKHIV/AIDS prevention efforts have been effective in helping to slow the rate of the epidemic. The number of new HIV infections in the United States has declined from over 150,000 in the late 1980s to an estimated 40,000 per year by the early 1990s. Dramatic decreases in mother-to-child HIV transmission (perinatal transmission). The number of perinatal HIV infections has dropped from 1,000 to 2,000 per year in the early 1990s to 280-370 per year in 2000. The number of HIV/AIDS cases attributed to injection drug use has declined by approximately 9 percent per year from 2001 to 2004. Advances in drug therapy have delayed onset of AIDS and more people are living longer and healthier after a diagnosis of HIV. Better understanding of which communities are at high-risk for HIV infection has allowed more targeted prevention programs and interventions. Increased community involvement in HIV prevention efforts has provided new partners in the fight against the epidemic. Behavioral interventions shown to be effective through randomized controlled trials have been implemented and disseminated for use with at-risk populations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa continues to affect all facets of life throughout the subcontinent. Deaths related to AIDS have driven down the life expectancy rate of residents in Zambia, Kenya, and Uganda with far-reaching implications. This book details the current state of the AIDS epidemic in Africa and what is known about the behaviors that contribute to the transmission of the HIV infection. It lays out what research is needed and what is necessary to design more effective prevention programs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith insightful discussion of program evaluation and the efforts of the Centers for Disease Control, this book presents a set of clear-cut recommendations to help ensure that the substantial resources devoted to the fight against AIDS will be used most effectively. This expanded edition of Evaluating AIDS Prevention Programs covers evaluation strategies and outcome measurements, including a realistic review of the factors that make evaluation of AIDS programs particularly difficult. Randomized field experiments are examined, focusing on the use of alternative treatments rather than placebo controls. The book also reviews nonexperimental techniques, including a critical examination of evaluation methods that are observational rather than experimentalâ€"a necessity when randomized experiments are infeasible.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"On July 13, 2010, the White House released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). This ambitious plan is the nation's first-ever comprehensive coordinated HIV/AIDS roadmap with clear and measurable targets. It is also a new attempt to set clear priorities and provide leadership for all public and private stakeholders to align their efforts toward a common purpose. The goals of NHAS are to: Reduce new HIV infections; Increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV; and Reduce HIV-related health disparities. To address the challenges of the epidemic and maximize the effectiveness of current HIV prevention methods, CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) pursues a High-Impact Prevention (HIP) approach. This approach uses combinations of scientifically proven, cost-effective, and scalable interventions targeted to populations in geographic areas most affected by the epidemic, and promises to greatly increase the impact of HIV prevention efforts. CDC also acknowledges that strengthening our work in HIV testing, linkage, and care will be essential to achieving the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. This guidance for HIV planning defines CDC's expectations of health departments and HIV planning groups (HPGs) in implementing HIV prevention planning. The HPG is the official HIV planning body that follows the HIV Planning Guidance to inform the development or update of the health department's Jurisdictional HIV Prevention Plan, which depicts how HIV infection will be reduced in the jurisdiction. HIV planning is a required and essential component of a comprehensive HIV prevention program, as outlined in Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PS12-1201, Comprehensive HIV Prevention Programs for Health Departments (2012-2016). CDC is committed to supporting HIV planning, including significant community involvement, scientific basis of program decisions, and targeting resources to have the greatest effect on HIV acquisition and transmission."--Page 4-5.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKInfectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIncreased HIV screening may help identify more people with the disease, but there may not be enough resources to provide them with the care they need. The Institute of Medicine's Committee on HIV Screening and Access to Care concludes that more practitioners must be trained in HIV/AIDS care and treatment and their hospitals, clinics, and health departments must receive sufficient funding to meet a growing demand for care.
