World AIDS Day observed tomorrow

World AIDS Day is to be observed tomorrow throughout the globe with a lot of 33 million humans living with the virus in 2007, a report of the United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) showed.

In it is “2008 Report on Global AIDS Epidemic,” UNAIDS said the rate of new contagions has gone down in various countries but this “favorable” trend has been “partially offset” by increments in new contagions in other nations.

“The overall number of humans living with HIV has increased as a result of the ongoing number of new contagions each year and the beneficial effects of more widely available antiretroviral therapy,” UNAIDS said.

Sub-Saharan Africa is still the most to a great extent affected by HIV, accounting for 67 percent of all HIV cases and for 72 percent of AIDS deaths in 2007.

Infections in most countries there have begun to decline but nations like Kenya had registered a rise in infection from 6.7 percent in 2003 to 8.5 percent in 2007.

The report, however, shows that there are “high infection levels” amidst “injecting drug users, men who have sex with men and sex workers” in constituents of sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.

To efficaciously incorporate HIV/AIDS, the UNAIDS has underscored the need to address “societal causes of HIV danger and vulnerability.”

“Long-term success in responding to the epidemic will require sustained progression in reducing humane rights violations affiliated with it, including gender inequality, stigma and discrimination,” the report stated.

In the Philippines, the Department of health (DOH) had registered a total of 59 new contagions in October, bringing to 3,515 the total number of HIV/AIDS cases recorded since January 1984.

A report prepared by the DOH’s National Epidemiology Center showed that 13 of the 59 cases were those of overseas Filipino laborers who are required to undergo HIV screening by their employer-countries.

“Nine of (the 13 cases) were males. All cases acquired the infection through sexual contacts – 10 heterosexual, one homosexual and two bisexual,” the report states.

To beef up anti-HIV/AIDS attempts in the Asia Pacific, the UNAIDS, Asian Development Bank, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and World health Organization launched last Friday the first-ever one-stop “online resource hub” that will provide comprehensive and easy to access HIV and AIDS info in the region.

The website, www.aidsdatahub.org and online database: www:devinfo.info/Evidencetoaction, and Hiv Aids Statistics carries multiple roots of info and reports, powerpoint demonstrations and reviews on HIV and AIDS situations in 24 countries and Hong Kong.

Meantime, UNAIDS records showed that 75 million Asian men “buy sex regularly” making them “key drivers” of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Asia-Pacific.

According to Amala Reddy, UNAIDS territorial consultant for Strategic Information, the HIV epidemic in Asia is caused by unprotected remunerated sex, sexual contact amongst men and intravenous drug use with shared needles.

Reddy said there are 75 million men who patronize mercantile sex from regarding 10 million Asian women and another 20 million men “who have sex with men or injecting drug users.”

But Reddy said the “limiting factor” that makes the Asian HIV epidemic dissimilar from that in Africa, which accounts for a majority of HIV/AIDS cases worldwide, is “that (Asian) women in general do not have multiple sex partners.” – With Lorraine Olivar

It is a distinctive book that brings together anthropology, demography, and epidemiology to explain how a peculiar community in Africa experiences AIDS.
