Download or read book Screening Out written by Laura Bisaillon and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when people with HIV apply to settle in Canada? Screening Out takes readers through the process of seeking permanent residency, demonstrating how mandatory HIV testing and the medical inadmissibility regime are organized to make such applications impossible. This ethnographic inquiry into the medico-legal and administrative practices governing the Canadian immigration system shows how it works from the perspective of the very people toward whom this exclusionary health policy is directed. Laura Bisaillon provides a vital corrective to state claims about mandatory HIV screening, pinpointing how and where things need to change.

Download or read book Asian Immigrants in North America with HIV AIDS written by AKM Ahsan Ullah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a number of issues related to the stigma arising from HIV/AIDS infection, perceived or actual discrimination from the community and society and the extent of vulnerabilities for infected Asian refugees and immigrants. It assesses the health care and treatment regimen for HIV/AIDS accessed by immigrants and refugee claimants in North America, including treatments offered by the health-care system and ethnic communities and their perceptions and biases relating to HIV/AIDS issues. On another level, the book identifies the ways in which HIV-sufferer immigrants and refugees/refugee claimants from Asia are vulnerable to discrimination due to 1) lack of information about HIV/AIDS incidence in the community; 2) inability of the health system to respond appropriately; and 3) the community’s need for introspection on their own health issues. This book reveals the dynamics that influence choice, behavior and lifestyle of HIV sufferer immigrants, adds to the existing knowledge about refugees and migrants and proposes a unified theory of discrimination and stigmatization within the context of human rights. In addition, the book presents a number of policy recommendations based on empirical findings with a view to helping reshape polices regarding refugee HIV sufferers and their social ramifications. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in any field from social sciences, health and psychology, as well as practitioners in the field of development and public policy. The book will be beneficial to policy formulators and implementers engaged in addressing the serious threat emanating from the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Download or read book Crossing Borders written by Mary Haour-Knipe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academics and activists have come together in this edited volume to tackle the complex issues surrounding migration and AIDS. The book sets the agenda for the development of HIV/AIDS prevention and care programme in migrant and minority ethnic communities. Issues covered include: migration patterns; policies for migrant health; legal and human rights issues as they affect mobile populations; racism and stigma; and HIV/AIDS prevention, care and programme evaluation as they pertain to migrant communities. The editors end with an overview of some of the key issues which remain to be addressed. The book identifies foundations on which bridges can be built, attempting to turn away from thinking of migration in terms of 'them ' and 'us', of public health in terms of protection, and from conceptualizing AIDS in terms of the infected and the non-infected. It is hoped that readers will take up the challenge, turn towards groups too often ignored, and ultimately work towards social justice and equity.

Download or read book Le pouvoir du care written by Marjorie Gerbier-Aublanc and published by Presses universitaires de Rennes. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particulièrement touchées par l’épidémie, les femmes de l’immigration sont devenues des actrices clé de la lutte contre le VIH/sida en France depuis deux décennies. Issu d’une enquête ethnographique en immersion au sein d’associations « communautaires », cet ouvrage éclaire la grammaire du care que ces femmes déploient dans le domaine de la prévention comme du soutien aux personnes vivant avec le VIH, les capacités d’agir favorisées par ce modèle associatif ainsi que les rapports de pouvoir inégalitaires, incorporés et/ou véhiculés par diverses institutions de l’échelle globale à l’échelle locale. Première étude en profondeur sur le sujet, ce livre constitue une contribution notable tant à l’histoire de la lutte contre le VIH/sida en France qu’à la sociologie des migrations.

Download or read book Migration induced HIV and AIDS in Rural Mozambique and Swaziland written by Jonathan Crush and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa's gold mining workforce has the highest prevalence rates of tuberculosis and HIV infection of any industrial sector in the country. The contract migrant labour system, which has long outlived apartheid, is responsible for this unacceptable situation. The spread of HIV to rural communities in Southern Africa is not well understood. The accepted wisdom is that migrants leave for the mines, engage in high-risk behaviour, contract the virus and return to infect their rural partners. This model fails to deal with the phenomenon of rural-rural transmission and cases of HIV discordance (when the female migrant is infected and the male migrant not). Nor does it reveal whether all rural partners are equally at risk of infection. This study examines the vulnerability of rural partners in southern Mozambique and southern Swaziland, which are two major source areas for migrant miners. It presents the results of surveys with miners and partners in these two sending-areas and affords the opportunity to compare two different mine-sending areas. The two areas are not only geographically and culturally different, they have had contrasting experiences with the mine labour system over the last two decades. The spread of HIV in Southern Africa in the 1990s coincided with major downsizing and retrenchment in the gold mining industry which impacted differently on Mozambique and Swaziland. Swaziland has been in decline as a source of mine migrants while Mozambique remained a relatively stable source of mine migrants. The study therefore aims not only to shed light on vulnerability in mine sending areas, but also to draw out any contrasts that might exist between two mine-sending areas that were inserted into the mine migrant labour system in different ways during the expansion of the HIV epidemic.

Download or read book The Borders of AIDS written by Karma R. Chávez and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As soon as US media and politicians became aware of AIDS in the early 1980s, fingers were pointed not only at the gay community but also at other countries and migrant communities, particularly Haitians, as responsible for spreading the virus. Evangelical leaders, public health officials, and the Reagan administration quickly capitalized on widespread fear of the new disease to call for quarantines, immigration bans, and deportations, scapegoating and blaming HIV-positive migrants—even as the rest of the world regarded the US as the primary exporter of the virus. In The Borders of AIDS, Karma Chávez demonstrates how such calls proliferated and how failure to impose a quarantine for HIV-positive citizens morphed into the successful enactment of a complete ban on the regularization of HIV-positive migrants—which lasted more than twenty years. News reports, congressional records, and AIDS activist archives reveal how queer groups and migrant communities built fragile coalitions to fight against the alienation of themselves and others, asserting their capacity for resistance and resiliency. Building on existing histories of HIV/AIDS, public health, citizenship, and immigration, Chávez establishes how politicians and public health officials treated different communities with HIV/AIDS and highlights the work these communities did to resist alienation.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'un projet européen créé à la demande de l'organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS), et mené par AIDS & Mobility (A&M). Le but de ce projet a été d'évaluer la situation et de formuler des recommandations à l'adresse des personnes concernées par la problématique de la migration et du VIH/sida, afin d'améliorer et d'encourager les activités de prévention du VIH/sida. Des recommandations ont en effet été formulées concernant les priorités pour l'avenir et la manière de répondre aux besoins spécifiques des migrants, notamment en ce qui concerne l'éducation sur le sida et les programmes de soins. Le constat le plus intéressant, et le moins surprenant, est celui identifiant la communauté des personnes originaires d'Afrique sub-saharienne vivant dans tous les pays de l'Union Européenne (UE), comme étant celle la plus fortement touchée par le VIH/sida. Tous les pays de l'UE ont connu des fortes baisses du nombre des cas du sida, en grande partie attribuées aux traitements anti-rétroviraux, mais cette baisse a été moins importante chez les migrants et les minorités ethniques. Les causes pouvant expliquer ce phénomène sont à la fois un plus faible accès aux services de santé et la migration en Europe de personnes originaires de régions à haute prévalence de VIH se trouvant à un stade avancé du sida. Ce rapport permet de rappeler que le lien entre la protection des droits de l'homme et des programmes efficaces de lutte contre le sida ressort du fait que la propagation du VIH/sida est anormalement élevée dans certains groupes de la population, comme notamment les minorités, les migrants, les réfugiés et les personnes déplacées dans leur propre pays. De rappeler également que dans le contexte du VIH/sida, un environnement où les droits de l'homme sont pris en compte réduit la vulnérabilité à la pandémie.
