Download or read book Changing the Course of AIDS written by David Dickinson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changing the Course of AIDS is an in-depth evaluation of a new and exciting way to create the kind of much-needed behavioral change that could affect the course of the global health crisis of HIV/AIDS. This case study from the South African HIV/AIDS epidemic demonstrates that regular workers serving as peer educators can be as—or even more—effective agents of behavioral change than experts who lecture about the facts and so-called appropriate health care behavior. After spending six years researching the response of large South African companies to the epidemic that is decimating their workforce as well as South African communities, David Dickinson describes the promise of this grassroots intervention—workers educating one another in the workplace and community—and the limitations of traditional top-down strategies. Dickinson's book takes us right into the South African workplace to show how effective and yet enormously complex peer education really is. We see what it means when workers directly tackle the kinds of sexual, gender, religious, ethnic, and broader social and political taboos that make behavior change so difficult, particularly when that behavior involves sex and sexuality. Dickinson's findings show that people who are not officially health care experts or even health care workers can be skilled and effective educators. In this book we see why peer education has so much to offer societies grappling with the HIV/AIDS epidemic and why those interested in changing behaviors to ameliorate other health problems like obesity, alcoholism, and substance abuse have so much to learn from the South African example.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that by the end of 2003 there were just under 38 million people living with HIV/AIDS, with all but two million of these people of working age. This report, prepared by the ILO Programme on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work, sets out global estimates of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the labour force and the working age population in 50 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and in more developed regions. Issues discussed include: the implications for the private and public sectors, on agriculture and concerns for food insecurity and on the informal economy; on women and children; policy implications and examples of responses to the problem in a variety of workplace settings; provision of antiretroviral therapy in conjunction with HIV prevention in the workplace and the potential for expanded access to workplace-based treatment.
