3 Title of the action: Community based system in HIV treatment - CoBaSys Empowering community to support antiretroviral delivery programmes for patients with HIV infection in Southern and Eastern African Countries: a regional network for policy advocacy targeting vulnerable groups. 3

4 4 antiretroviral delivery programmes for patients with HIV infection Empowering community regional network policy advocacy vulnerable groups

5 Il workshop ha l’obiettivo di lavorare insieme sulla tematica del progetto CoBaSys, attraverso una sua declinazione in chiave multidisciplinare. Cobasys mira alla costruzione di un network in grado di ottenere un “voce” piu’ autorevole sulla formulazione di politiche in tema di salute per la difesa dei gruppi piu’ vulnerabili. 5

8 8 Relevance of the action: The African states involved in the project currently record the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence and incidence rates in the world The debate on ART in developing countries has irrevocably moved from the question of whether the introduction of ART is feasible to questions of how can best be delivered and sustained

9 A Global view of HIV infection, 2007 33 million people [30-36 million] living with HIV 9 The latest statistics on the world epidemic of HIV and AIDS were published by UNAIDS/WHO in July 2008, and refer to the end of 2007. More than 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981

10 Regional statistics for HIV & AIDS, end of 2007 10

11 Global HIV/AIDS estimates, end of 2007 11 The latest statistics on the world epidemic of HIV and AIDS were published by UNAIDS/WHO in July 2008, and refer to the end of 2007.

14 HIV prevalence and GDP per capita (data from UNAIDS and the World Bank) 14 There is no systematic relationship between poverty and HIV, although malnutrition and economic vulnerability may well increase the risk of HIV infection in some contexts

15 15 A combined microfinance and training intervention can lead to reductions in levels of intimate- partner violence in programme participants. Social and economic development interventions have the potential to alter risk environments for HIV and intimate-partner violence in southern Africa. The intervention did not affect the rate of unprotected sexual intercourse with a non-spousal partner in cohort two, and there was no effect on the rate of unprotected sexual intercourse at last occurrence with a non-spousal partner

16 16 Strategies to alleviate poverty, whilst valuable in themselves, are unlikely to be effective in combating the HIV epidemic. Nicoli Nattrass, AIDS Behav (2009) 13:833–840

17 17 Of all the study participants, 32% of women and 22% of men had experienced food insufficiency in the preceding 12 months. “The results were striking”. Food insufficiency was associated with increased HIV risk behaviour, and this association was much more marked in women than men. Risk behaviour included inconsistent condom use, sex exchange, increased intergenerational sex, and lack of control over sexual relationships

18 18 The fact that most people living with HIV in the region today are poor simply reflects the fact that the epidemic has now spread throughout the generalized population in a region that has a high proportion of poor people Not to poverty itself but to economic and gender inequalities and weakened “social cohesion”

19 The link between extreme poverty and AIDS is mediated byvulnerable group in the comunity 19 Vulnerable Groups Vulnerable Groups AIDS Poverty

20 20 African women and AIDS Between 15 and 19 years old infection rate is 5-6 fold higher than men (UNAIDS, 2000). Biological, social and cultural factors involved: Frequent sexual intercourses between teenagers Lower access to instruction Lower monetary availability Lower access to prevention and to health services Social rights inequity between men and women is a risk factor.

21 AIDS orphans 79% of all AIDS orphans live in Africa 15 million children have lost one or both parents 5.8% of all children in africa are orphan Absolute number and percentage of children aged 6-14 years who have lost one or both parents to AIDS in sub- Saharan Africa years

22 HIV Prevalence and Income Inequality in Africa The Gini coefficient has a value between 0 and 1, representing the extremes of income distribution. A zero value corresponds to the situation where everyone in the population has exactly the same income, whereas a value of 1 would correspond to extreme concentration of income in one person. A high value indicates a more unequal income distribution.

23 Conclusions AIDS pandemic is a globalized problem and economic sustainability of ART is necessary to be found in a world global economic resources. We need to keep going in community sustainability of AIDS programs were Africans are actively involved in keeping prevention and treatment opportunity tightly linked. 23
