Dangerous inequalities: World AIDS Day report 2022 shabnam.abdullayeva_2293 Fri, 12/23/2022 - 11:27

This report, which marks World AIDS Day 2022, unpacks the impact that gender inequalities, inequalities faced by key populations, and inequalities between children and adults have had on the AIDS response. It is not inevitable, however, that these inequalities will slow progress towards ending AIDS. We know what works—with courage and cooperation, political leaders can tackle them.

The Harms of Incarceration: The evidence base and human rights framework for decarceration and harm reduction in prisons admin Fri, 02/11/2022 - 12:55

This briefing provides advocates with the evidence base and human rights framework for decarceration and the provision of harm reduction services in prisons.

It provides evidence that:

The first step in reducing harm associated with incarceration is to reduce reliance on incarceration itself.
Providing harm reduction is a human rights obligation.
Harm reduction services in prisons are an essential, effective and safe public health measure.
People in prison are severely underserved by harm reduction services.

Integrated and Person Centred Harm Reduction Services admin Fri, 11/26/2021 - 15:39

In this report, Harm Reduction International defines an integrated harm reduction service as a site or organisation that provides one or more ‘traditional’ harm reduction services (such as opioid agonist therapy or a needle and syringe programme)
alongside other health and social services. In doing so, they ensure that a wide range of services are available
and accessible to their clients.

For the report they looked at integrated harm reduction services in: Brazil, Australia, Nepal, Portugal, Kenya and Canada.

HIV and mental health: Improving generic NHS talking therapy services for people living with HIV in England

HIV and mental health: Improving generic NHS talking therapy services for people living with HIV in England admin Sun, 11/14/2021 - 15:07

National AIDS Trust investigated the suitability of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services for people living with HIV and surveyed how people living with HIV had used the NHS talking therapy services in England.

The report reveals a lack of HIV knowledge and understanding within IAPT services, and IAPT services poor integration with wider HIV healthcare services stopped them from working effectively with some people living HIV.

Despite major progress in treating and preventing HIV, HIV stigma remains rife and contributes to poor mental health, isolation and loneliness. It often prevents people from getting the help they need.

People living with HIV are twice as likely to experience feelings of depression or anxiety than the general population, and more than 1 in 3 report being diagnosed with a mental health condition at some time

Ethical considerations in HIV prevention trials

Ethical considerations in HIV prevention trials admin Wed, 02/10/2021 - 12:43

UNAIDS and the World Health Organization have published this updated guidance on ethical considerations in HIV prevention trials. The new guidance is the result of a year-long process that saw more than 80 experts and members of the public give inputs and is published 21 years after the first edition appeared.

The HIV prevention goal set in the United Nations 2016 Political Declaration on Ending AIDS is to reduce new HIV infections to less than 200 000 by 2030. To this end, UNAIDS and WHO strongly support all valid approaches to improving HIV prevention technology, provision and use, while also recognizing their role in promoting the rights of populations affected by HIV. This revised guidance can be used to support all stakeholders in designing and conducting ethically and scientifically sound HIV prevention trials that advance the response towards the 2030 HIV prevention goal.

This document is also available in Portuguese.

COVID-19 in marginalised groups: challenges, actions and voices admin Mon, 01/11/2021 - 16:08

The Nobody Left Outside coalition has developed this briefing paper for the WHO European Office for Investment for Health and Development to:

Explain to policymakers the particular challenges and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses among marginalised groups in Europe. This is done via a unique exercise mapping the inter-related impacts associated with homelessness, sex work, undocumented status, drug use, LGBTI identity and imprisonment according to the framework of the WHO Health Equity Status Report (HESR) essential conditions for a health life
Recommend solutions to help improve government responses, recovery measures and inform preparedness plans
Present the voices and actions of marginalised communities and civil society organisations currently working on the frontlines to support them through the pandemic and beyond. This section signposts to a variety of resources highlighting lived experiences and ongoing community-led responses across Europe

Policy Brief on HIV Criminalization

Policy Brief on HIV Criminalization admin Thu, 12/10/2020 - 10:48

Despite the progress of scientic evidence and recent positive developments in practice of investigations and prosecutions in some European countries, HIV-criminalization remains a key issue both for PLHIV and prevention measures across Europe. According to data from HIV Justice Network , 18 countries in the WHO European region have HIV specic criminalisation laws, and 31 countries have prosecuted PLHIV.

This policy brief and its recommendations are based on and derived from the findings of the report HIV criminalization in the EU/EEA: a comparative 10-country report by the European HIV Legal Forum. The report can be downloaded here.

Access to HIV-, viral hepatitis-, and TB-services for people in prison and other closed settings in Europe: A comparative 10-country report

Access to HIV-, viral hepatitis-, and TB-services for people in prison and other closed settings in Europe: A comparative 10-country report admin Thu, 09/03/2020 - 14:32

In 2018-2019 the European HIV Legal Forum conducted a project on access to HIV-, viral hepatitis-, and TB-services for people in prison and other closed settings in 10 countries (Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, North Macedonia, Spain, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom). The project produced a comparative legal report based on legal survey launched in the 10 countries. One of the key findings of this project showed that people in prison and other closed settings have reduced access to HIV-, viral hepatitis-, and TB- services, compared to the general population, and there is also lack of data on prevalence of different conditions and diseases, which makes planning and budgeting for services more difficult.

UNAIDS DATA 2020 admin Mon, 08/10/2020 - 23:14

With the end of 2020 approaching, the latest data from countries show both progress and challenges. As the complex reality of HIV epidemics is increasingly understood, more HIV responses are sharpening their ability to identify gaps and develop strategies to reach people who are being left behind. However, too few countries have taken sufficient action to reach the interim milestones, leaving the world off track to achieve the three zeros by 2030.

Measurable targets were set for 2030, and the United Nations (UN) General Assembly later articulated interim 2020 milestones in the 2016 Political Declaration on Ending AIDS:

To reduce new HIV infections to fewer than 500 000 by 2020.
To reduce AIDS-related deaths to fewer than 500 000 by 2020.
To eliminate HIV-related stigma and discrimination by 2020.
