This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe's "Black Death" contributed to the rise of nation states, mercantile economies, and even the Reformation. Will the AIDS epidemic have similar dramatic effects on the social and political landscape of the twenty-first century? This readable volume looks at the impact of AIDS since its emergence and suggests its effects in the next decade, when a million or more Americans will likely die of the disease. The Social Impact of AIDS in the United States addresses some of the most sensitive and controversial issues in the public debate over AIDS. This landmark book explores how AIDS has affected fundamental policies and practices in our major institutions, examining: How America's major religious organizations have dealt with sometimes conflicting values: the imperative of care for the sick versus traditional views of homosexuality and drug use. Hotly debated public health measures, such as HIV antibody testing and screening, tracing of sexual contacts, and quarantine. The potential risk of HIV infection to and from health care workers. How AIDS activists have brought about major change in the way new drugs are brought to the marketplace. The impact of AIDS on community-based organizations, from volunteers caring for individuals to the highly political ACT-UP organization. Coping with HIV infection in prisons. Two case studies shed light on HIV and the family relationship. One reports on some efforts to gain legal recognition for nonmarital relationships, and the other examines foster care programs for newborns with the HIV virus. A case study of New York City details how selected institutions interact to give what may be a picture of AIDS in the future. This clear and comprehensive presentation will be of interest to anyone concerned about AIDS and its impact on the country: health professionals, sociologists, psychologists, advocates for at-risk populations, and interested individuals.

Book excerpt: Advanced HIV disease (defined in persons living with HIV with a CD4 cell count of 200cells/mm3 or presenting with a WHO Stage 3/4 AIDS-defining illness) poses a challenge to many countries globally, and is responsible for significant mortality and morbidity among people living with HIV.brbrIn 2017, WHO recommended a package of care for the prevention and management of advanced HIV disease. The package was composed of screening tests, diagnostics, prophylaxis, rapid ART initiation and enhanced adherence counselling. Since the development of these recommendations, a number of important studies as well as interventions have emerged for potential use in advanced HIV disease. In 2023, WHO commissioned the development of a landscaping exercise followed by an expert consultation on the AHD research landscape. The expert consultation brought together over 70 subject matter experts, representatives of civil society, ministries of health and implementation partners.brbrThis report summarizes both the findings from the landscaping exercise and the report of the expert consultation. Specifically, it provides an overview of 9 key focus areas in advanced HIV disease, starting with CD4 testing as the entry point into differentiated advanced HIV disease care, followed by sections on the 3 leading causes of mortality in advanced HIV disease – TB, cryptococcal meningitis and severe bacterial infections. The findings in this report will support WHO in the update of the guidelines for advanced HIV disease.
