Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study will illuminate and clarify issues in ways that will inform those involved in the design and practical implementation of harm reduction programmes.Russia confronts a dual public health threat and law enforcement concern: rising rates of drug addiction and an HIV/AIDS epidemic for which injecting drug users are principally responsible.This book examines the legal risks associated with introducing harm reduction programmes under foreign assistance schemes to combat HIV in Russia. The first study in any language to analyse the interface between a major ‘best international practice’ public health initiative and a zero-tolerance regime for regulating narcotics, it contains a history of Russian narcotics and HIV legislation, detailed commentary on relevant Russian codes, judicial practice, and treaties, accompanied by translations of the principal narcotics and HIV legislation, the UN narcotics conventions, and consideration of European human rights standards. The lessons of Russian experience are relevant worldwide and the success or failure of Russia in coping with legal risks arising from both threats has immediate implications for Europe as a whole. This is an expanded and revised version of a study originally undertaken for the Department for International Development of Her Majesty’s Government and the foundation: International Family Health. Widespread concern over the threat of HIV and drug related crime has prompted governments to re-think their public health policies and narcotics control policies over recent years. Against this background, the concept of harm reduction has emerged as a viable alternative to the simplistic abstinence-orientated approaches best characterised by the ‘just say no’ campaign of the mid 1980s and widely used now in Russia.

Download or read book HIV is God s Blessing written by Jarrett Zigon and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative study examines the role of today’s Russian Orthodox Church in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Russia has one of the fastest-growing rates of HIV infection in the world—80 percent from intravenous drug use—and the Church remains its only resource for fighting these diseases. Jarrett Zigon takes the reader into a Church-run treatment center where, along with self-transformational and religious approaches, he explores broader anthropological questions—of morality, ethics, what constitutes a "normal" life, and who defines it as such. Zigon argues that this rare Russian partnership between sacred and political power carries unintended consequences: even as the Church condemns the influence of globalization as the root of the problem it seeks to combat, its programs are cultivating citizen-subjects ready for self-governance and responsibility, and better attuned to a world the Church ultimately opposes.

Download or read book The Politics of HIV AIDS in Russia written by Ulla Pape and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the role of civil society organisations in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Russia. It looks at how Russia’s HIV/AIDS epidemic has developed into a serious social, economic and political problem, and how according to the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Russia is currently facing the biggest HIV/AIDS epidemic in all of Europe with an estimated number of 980,000 people living with HIV in 2009. The book investigates civil society organisations’ contribution to social change and civil society development in post-Soviet Russia, and thus situates a specific type of civil society actors into a broader socio-political context and questions their ability to represent civic interests, particularly in the field of social policy-making and health. This allows for a better understanding of the dynamics of state-society relations in present-day Russia, and gives insight into the ways HIV/AIDS NGOs in Russia have used transnational ties in order to exert influence on domestic policy-making in the field of HIV/AIDS.
