UNAIDS Global AIDS Update 2024

The Urgency of Now: AIDS at a Crossroads

By: UNAIDS

The report titled The Urgency of Now: AIDS at a Crossroads, demonstrates the HIV response is at a crossroads: success or failure will be determined by which path leaders take. The report shows that the decisions leaders make this year will determine whether AIDS is ended as a public health threat by 2030. Taking the wrong path, by limiting resourcing or clamping down on human rights, would lead the pandemic to continue to grow, costing millions more lives and undermining global health security.

This Best Practice report shows how the power of working people can be harnessed in the response to AIDS. Eleven case studies from different settings show how trade unions are mounting bold, imaginative responses to HIV in the workplace: challenging stigma and discrimination, addressing the factors that increase vulnerability and risk, educating their members on HIV transmission prevention, providing care and treatment and building worldwide coalitions that campaign for more to be done to tackle the disease.

Towards Universal Access

By: Unaids

In November 2007, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) published data showing that HIV prevalence has stabilized, even though the number of people living with HIV continues to rise. The following year, a joint UNAIDS, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and WHO report announced that 3 million people living with HIV were accessing antiretroviral therapy, an unprecedented increase of 1 million from the previous year and a 10-fold increase from five years earlier.

Mental Health Development

Targeting People with Mental Health Conditions as a Vulnerable Group

By: World Health Organization,UNAIDS

People with mental health conditions have been excluded from the development agenda despite being a marginalized and vulnerable group in countries all over the world. This report highlights the urgent need to redress this situation. It presents compelling evidence that people with mental health conditions meet major criteria for vulnerability and yet fall through the cracks of development aid and government attention. It makes the case for reaching out to this vulnerable group through the design and implementation of appropriate policies and programes and through the inclusion of mental health interventions into broader poverty reduction and development strategies. It also describes a number of key interventions which can provide a starting point for these efforts. This report is a call to action to all development stakeholders, multilateral agencies, bilateral agencies, global partnerships, private foundations, academic and research institutions, governments and civil society to focus their attention on mental health. By investing in people with mental health conditions, development outcomes can be improved.

This short publication is a handy guide to all those working in the AIDS response, and especially those working with key populations at higher risk of exposure to HIV.

HIV and Men who Have Sex with Men in Asia and the Pacific

By: Joint United Nations Programme on HI

In Asia and the Pacific alone, an estimated 7.1 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, which means that this region has the second-largest number of people living with the virus after Sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, men who have sex with men (MSM) constitute a vulnerable group because of the risk associated with their sexual practices, and related HIV transmission is particularly significant in the more developed sub-regions of Asia and the Pacific.

The Development of Programme Strategies for Integration of HIV, Food and Nutrition Activities in Refugee Settings

By: Joint United Nations Programme on HI

In 2003 UNHCR WFP and UNICEF launched a joint effort to develop through multi-site field research in refugee communities in Africa a set of strategies for using food and nutrition-based interventions to support HIV transmission prevention impact mitigation and care treatment and support for people living with HIV. This important collaborative initiative grew out of the recognition that refugee settings are unique. It was recognized also that specific research is required to be conducted among and with refugees. This Best Practice document discusses the research process and findings of this interagency initiative.

Second Generation Surveillance Surveys of HIV, Othr STIs and Risk Behaviours in 6 Pacific Island Countries

Implemented by the Ministries of Health of Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu

By: World Health Organization,WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific,UNAIDS

This HIV surveillance project is a significant initiative for the South Pacific (SP) Region, which has been well supported by Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) and key United Nations and regional non-government organizations. This report presents a synthesis and analysis of data generated by the SGS surveys from the first round of surveys, including prevalence of disease, demographic descriptors, risk behaviours and knowledge of HIV. Analyses are intended to determine which activities will strengthen surveillance systems for the second wave of surveys in 2006 and to identify factors that can be targeted in STI/HIV prevention strategies. Results are presented as a regional summary followed by country-specific chapters and will be most useful for national Ministries of Health, in-country stakeholders and other regional agencies.

Pesticide Residues in Food - 2006

Evaluations 2006, Part II - Toxicological

By: World Health Organization,UNAIDS

The toxicological monographs and monograph addenda contained in this volume were prepared by a WHO Core Assessment Group that met with the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment in a Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) in Rome, Italy, on 3-12 October 2006. The Meeting evaluated 30 pesticidesâ€”including five new compounds and five compounds that were re-evaluated within the periodic review program of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) for toxicity or residues, or both. The original schedule of compounds to be evaluated was amended for cypermethrins and triadimefon/triadimenol. For cypermethrins, only a toxicological evaluation was carried out as no residue data were received. The evaluation of triadimefon/triadimenol was postponed to 2007 as the peer review process could not be completed in time. Reports and other documents resulting from previous Joint Meetings on Pesticide Residues are listed in Annex 1. The report of the Joint Meeting has been published by the FAO as FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper 187. That report contains comments on the compounds considered acceptable daily intakes established by the WHO Core Assessment Group, and maximum residue limits established by the FAO Panel of Experts. Monographs on residues prepared by the FAO Panel of Experts are published as a companion volume as Evaluations 2006, Part I, Residuesin the FAO Plant Production and Protection Paperseries.
