This book was released on 2013 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines represent the crystallization of the lessons learnt from ILO's long partnership with its constituents to develop and implement tripartite-plus workplace policies on HIV and AIDS. While this Guide emerged out of the Caribbean experience, it is a universal tool that constituents in the Caribbean and beyond can use to develop and implement their own HIV policies at the national, sectoral or enterprise level. The process espoused in this publication is designed to build the capacity and confi dence of tripartite constituents to develop, implement, own, and sustain their workplace response to the HIV epidemic. This process has been applied consistently in the majority of Caribbean countries as has been the ILO framework for responding in the workplace, namely: 1) The ILO Recommendation No. 200 Concerning HIV and AIDS and the World of Work (2010); and 2) ILO Code of practice on HIV/AIDS and the world of work (2001), undoubtedly contributing to the elements that strengthen the regional bond.

Download or read book HIV AIDS and Work written by International Labour Office and published by International Labour Organization. This book was released on 2004 with total page 116 pages. 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.

Download or read book Sexually Transmitted Infections written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One in five people in the United States had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) on any given day in 2018, totaling nearly 68 million estimated infections. STIs are often asymptomatic (especially in women) and are therefore often undiagnosed and unreported. Untreated STIs can have severe health consequences, including chronic pelvic pain, infertility, miscarriage or newborn death, and increased risk of HIV infection, genital and oral cancers, neurological and rheumatological effects. In light of this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, through the National Association of County and City Health Officials, commissioned the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to examine the prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections in the United States and provide recommendations for action. In 1997, the Institute of Medicine released a report, The Hidden Epidemic: Confronting Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Although significant scientific advances have been made since that time, many of the problems and barriers described in that report persist today; STIs remain an underfunded and comparatively neglected field of public health practice and research. The committee reviewed the current state of STIs in the United States, and the resulting report, Sexually Transmitted Infections: Advancing a Sexual Health Paradigm, provides advice on future public health programs, policy, and research.
