Book excerpt: In 2019, WHO and Coalition for Children Affected by AIDS convened a learning session of scientific and programmatic experts to consolidate the evidence on why HIV-affected adolescent mothers and their children are being left behind and to deliberate on the multiple-level changes needed to improve their outcomes. This technical brief follows on from that session and will be useful to HIV programme managers in health ministries and other adolescent- and youth-linked line ministries, especially those in in sub-Saharan Africa, in implementing, monitoring and evaluating adolescent and youth-responsive and -friendly health services for young mothers living with HIV. This technical brief aims to inform and support global dialogue and accelerate action on prioritizing services and support for adolescent and young mothers living with HIV. It details core programmatic examples and key strategies actions from across sub Saharan Africa that demonstrate how governments, health facilities, social services, communities, families and adolescent and young mothers are working together to bridge the gap between adolescent and adult-focused HIV and maternal health services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, grade: 1,15, LMU Munich (Soziologie), course: Reproductive Justice, language: English, abstract: This paper gives an overview of the mechanisms of mother to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV in Sub-Saharan countries and discusses why it still is a huge problem. It also shows what social and economic barriers occur when mothers, or to some extend people in general, try to access anti-retroviral treatments (ART). As research has shown, factors like social stigma still play a large role why so many people are not seeking help. Sub-Saharan countries still have an unproportioned part of the global HIV infection compared to the rest of the globe. The most common form of getting infected by HIV is by heterosexual contact, followed by MTCT. Even with the slowly declining numbers of infected people and people with no access to treatments, this still is a big issue that should be tackled and done more research on, especially on the mother to child transmission of HIV. MTCT contributes largely to the number of children affected by HIV by the age of ten and under. The author intents to point out why this should be worked on more and why factors like education and reducing social stigma should be advanced in order to enable a faster decline of vertical transmission numbers. Furthermore, basic mechanisms of MTCT are going to be explained and how it possibly can be prevented in every stage of the pregnancy. Additionally, the author clarifies why social, cultural, and economic factors play such a big role in fighting against HIV. The paper aims to show, how all these factors tie together and what future research could be done in order to reduce the number of people getting affected by HIV, especially infants and young people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report delivers the first systematic analysis of available data to make an authoritative statement on the status of inequality in HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria. Monitoring inequalities in HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria (in terms of burden, prevention and treatment) helps to pinpoint where there may be gaps and identify population groups that are being left behind, and support countries and international organizations to tailor policies, programmes, and service provision to close these gaps. The objectives of the report are to: assess the latest status and change of inequality in HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis globally; identify good-performing countries in terms of equity as well as countries that have room for improvement; and investigate the association of inequality with inequality in other health topics, social determinants of health and access to health facilities. This report supports Output 4.1.2 of GPW 13 (GPW 13 impacts and outcomes, global and regional health trends, Sustainable Development Goal indicators, health inequalities and disaggregated data monitored). Similar analysis have been previously conducted and published for other disease topics, including State of inequality: Childhood immunization and State of inequality: Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health.
