Salud, Dignidad y Prevención Positivas

Salud, Dignidad y Prevencion Positivas
Published in 2013 by GNP+ and UNAIDS, the primary goals of Salud, Dignidad y Prevención Positivas (Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention) are to improve the dignity, quality, and length of life of people living with HIV. If achieved, this will, in turn, have beneficial effects on their partners, families, and communities, including reducing the likelihood of new infections. Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention is not just a new name for the concept of HIV prevention for and by people living with HIV, formerly known as ‘positive prevention’. Rather, Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention is built upon a broader foundation that includes improving and maintaining the dignity of the individual living with HIV; supports and enhances the individual’s physical, mental, emotional and sexual health; and, which, in turn, among other benefits, creates an enabling environment that will reduce the likelihood of new HIV infections.

Global Policy, Local Disconnects: A Look into the Implementation of the 2013 HIV Treatment Guidelines

Global Policy Local Disconnect
Published in 2014, The Global Policy, Local Disconnects: A Look Into the Implementation of the 2013 HIV Treatment Guidelines report is a global initiative undertaken by The International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) and the AIDS and Rights Alliance for Southern Africa (ARASA) that investigates what the reality was on the ground for people living with HIV. Utilizing ITPC’s nine Regional Networks and ARASA partners in Southern Africa, a cross-section of people living with HIV, service providers and other stakeholders were surveyed across the globe for their experiences, opinions and insights. The report provides a reality check to talk of ending AIDS and discusses the barriers at the community level to scaling up treatment.

MSM in Sub-Saharan Africa: Health, Access and HIV
Within the context of an uncontrolled epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Sub-Saharan Africa and new attempts to scale-up MSM-targeted programming, this policy brief aims to address some of these gaps by examining current access to basic HIV prevention and treatment services among MSM in Sub-Saharan Africa. These findings combine the quantitative and qualitative data from the 2012 Global Men’s Health and Rights (GMHR) study, and interviews with LGBT-led CBOs across six countries. The brief concludes with recommendations for action to support the successful scale-up of MSM-targeted HIV programs in the region.
