Book excerpt: This annual update reports on developments in the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and draws on the most recent data available to give global and regional estimates of its scope and human toll. Despite promising developments in global efforts to address the AIDS epidemic, including increased access to effective treatment and prevention programmes, the number of people living with HIV continues to grow, as does the number of deaths due to AIDS. Findings for 2006 include: the total number of people living with HIV is estimated at 39.5 million, 4.3 million new cases during the year and an estimated 2.9 million deaths. Sub-Saharan Africa continues to bear the brunt of the global epidemic with 63 per cent of all adults and children with HIV globally and with its epicentre in southern Africa. In the past two years, the number of people living with HIV increased in every region in the world, with the most striking increases in East Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where the number of people living with HIV in 2006 was over 21 per cent higher than in 2004.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This third annual report of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention highlights some major achievements and challenges faced by our organization in 2009, and looks forward to opportunities for improving health impact in the year ahead. We continue to deliver life-saving, effective, evidence-based prevention programs at home and abroad. Our stories show how we have strengthened our science by growing the size of our research efforts, increasing our research partnerships and collaborations, and developing and mentoring new researchers in the prevention arena. The epidemics of HIV and other STDs, hepatitis, and TB are large and complex, but we have made progress over the last year both in the United States and throughout the world. In the U.S.: New diagnoses and rates of TB continued to drop and, in 2009, were at the lowest levels ever recorded ; Expansion of hepatitis B vaccination programs brought continued declines in acute hepatitis B infections; Advances in checking for and tracking of hepatitis C infection continue; New efforts have started that focus on mobilizing communities to reduce HIV, STD, TB, and hepatitis health disparities and promote greater health equity; The Act Against AIDS campaign, the first nationwide, federally funded campaign to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in over two decades was launched; Large investments continue to be made to promote HIV testing, especially in areas with high rates of disease among African Americans; The planning and delivery of our prevention investments and programs have improved by providing new program and funding opportunity announcements that are more balanced between national and local prevention priorities and needs; New prevention programs have been introduced and established programs and approaches refined, including collaborative programs that integrate services for more than one disease or risk; begin to address the social determinants of health; and put funding in areas where there is evidence of improved health; New communication technologies have promoted HIV and STD prevention."--Page 3.

Download or read book HIV and AIDS in Canada written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is part of an annual series providing a review of available HIV and AIDS surveillance data in Canada. It provides a description of persons who have been diagnosed with HIV and AIDS in Canada, understating the magnitude of the HIV epidemic, but consequently does not present the specific number of people infected with HIV (prevalence) or the number infected each year (incidence). Some of the reasons for this include the fact that surveillance data is subject to delays in reporting, underreporting and changing patterns in HIV testing behaviours. In addition, surveillance data can only describe individuals who have been tested and diagnosed with HIV or AIDS and not those who remain untested and undiagnosed. In addition, because HIV is a chronic infection with a long latent period, many individuals who are newly infected in a given year may not be diagnosed until a later time.--Includes text from document.

Growing forces for globalization have increased the interconnectedness of the world and our interdependency on other countries, economies, and cultures.

Global Health and the Future Role of the United States identifies global health priorities in light of current and emerging world threats. This report assesses the current global health landscape and how challenges, actions, and players have evolved over the last decade across a wide range of issues, and provides recommendations on how to increase responsiveness, coordination, and efficiency â€" both within the U.S. government and across the global health field.
