UNICEF: Strides made in Namibia against HIV/AIDS
Towards Universal Access, a new report on scaling up HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment efforts, highlights gains in HIV testing and counselling, prevention of mother-to-child transmission and other areas. Here is a related tale. OHANGWENA DISTRICT, Namibia, 30 September 2009 More than 4 million people in low- and middle-income countries were receiving anti-retroviral (ARV) therapy at the close of 2008 a 36 per cent increase in one year and a 10-fold increase over five years, according to a new report released today by the World Health Establishment, UNICEF and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, also known as UNAIDS. The report, Towards Universal Access: Scaling Up Priority HIV/AIDS Interventions in the Health Sector, puts the success down to expanded HIV testing and counseling, as well as improved access to services aimed at prevention of mother-to-child transmission, or PMTCT. Namibia, with one of the worlds highest rates of HIV infection, is at the forefront of this change. In 2006, Namibia could afford ARV treatment for only a few hundred people. Last year, it treated tens of thousands very nearly 70 percent of persons in need. To read the full tale, visit www.unicef.org

HIV/AIDS-Condom-Clip Condom
“HIV/AIDS Prevention among Youth” Project is the largest project on HIV/AIDS that has been done so far. It is sponsored by Asian Enhancement Bank and is carried out by the General Department of Population and Family Plotting, Ministry of Health. DIGISUN initially participated in this project as the sub-contractor of IDS Media Vietnam to produce 90 one-small TV Spots with a variety of messages about HIV/AIDS prevention. HIV/AIDS is a sensitive topic that needs to be dealt with carefully. To fulfill this assignment, we have applied a bright approach which can be summarized in five words, say “young, creative, stylish, confident, and proactive” These are also the characteristics of the youth, the target audience of the project. Sensitive messages were smoothly and pleasantly imparted through various presentation styles including animations, music video clips, game shows, normal spots, blog-style spots and so on. These spots have gone far from normal interaction spots and have become favorite clips for the youth which have been downloaded thousands of time.

Reducing Hiv/aids Vulnerability Among Adolescents
Reducing HIV/AIDS vulnerability among adolescents Anirudha Alam
To lower HIV/AIDS vulnerability among adolescents, there is a need to develop strategies and methods for effective curriculum focusing on sex education and life skills especially. Internalizing more participatory learning-teaching mode, it is felt that a stronger integration of prevention education vis-à-vis sex & reproductive health approaches is essential for improving the high-quality HIV prevention & care. It is estimated that there are 1.2 billion adolescents in the world. Near about eighty seven percent of these adolescents live in the developing countries. More than eighty five percent adolescents of Bangladesh do not know what reproductive health is and how to practice safe sex. Most of them are not attentive of how to undermine the vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. To make them free from such encumbrance as HIV/AIDS, we have to make sure a healthy and promising environment. It is believed that if the adolescents have qualitative reproductive health literacy ultimately HIV/AIDS prevention programs initiated by GOs and NGos will be thriving.
Only effective education can make sure qualitative reproductive health literacy. This kind of literacy helps adolescents analyze thoroughly basic information, core messages, values and praxis related to HIV/AIDS prevention. Simultaneously they are able to inculcate caring and encouraging attitudes towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). They possess the basic facts and information bringing about acquisition of knowledge and enhancement of attitudes, values, skills and practices (KAVSP) as to undermining the spread of HIV/AIDS. Consequently they have profound awareness on practicing safe sex, use of condoms, gender equity, harmful look of early marriage, premarital sex and unplanned pregnancy.
Reducing HIV/AIDS vulnerability among adolescents may be promoted auspiciously through evaluating the attitudes and values within convergence based social norms/beliefs, cooperation and teamwork. From the salad days, adolescents have to be guided by active and participatory learning that they may analyze, study thoughts, solve problems and apply what they gather. It is vital to make sure that active learning would be quick-paced, enjoyable and personally engaging. In this regard, cooperative learning may play a vital role to make the adolescents attentive of HIV/AIDS much. It is one kind of effective assemble approaches with a view to learning with common objectives, mutual rewards, shared resources and complementary roles. Through this approach, assemble members are stimulated to help each other to master the lesson or activity. Thus an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect are established. Eventually the learning environment is warm as well as adolescents are made to express their views, opinions, attitudes and behaviors freely.
Adolescence is the fill in and sensitive period of so many physical, emotional and cognitive developments. So adolescents have to experience many changes unexpectedly. In most cases, they remain unaware of how to efficiently cope with these kinds of physical and psychological changes. Attitudes to sexuality are being developed gradually during puberty. In this time, if adolescents are misguided or deprived of acquiring reproductive health literacy they will suffer all the time in their lives. There is no doubt that sexual maturity leads to happiness and fulfillment in prospect personal and social relationships. So there is no alternative for adolescents to gather about issues related to reproductive health from parents, teachers and other elders for being able to know and develop a healthy attitude.
Vulnerability to HIV/AIDS is skyrocketing in the developing countries jeopardized by lack of qualitative reproductive health literacy among the adolescents. But reproductive health literacy itself offers one of the key hopes against HIV/AIDS epidemic as well as its influential eventualities. In fighting the pandemic, reproductive health literacy comprising transfer of skills and attitudes to lower adolescents’ vulnerabilities to HIV/AIDS is the most effective means. It is seriously necessary to lower the dread of HIV/AIDS any how. Reproductive health literacy can do a lot to combat HIV/AIDS facilitating adolescents in attaining the knowledge, attitudes and skills that they need to delay sexual intercourse, lower their number of sex partners, prevent illicit drug/substance use and avoid infection by using condoms.
The academic curriculum of the developing countries like Bangladesh should provide adolescents with opportunities to gather and practice life skills, such as choice-building and interaction skills, which can strengthen other vital areas of early life enhancement. It is expected that different aspects of inclusive HIV/AIDS/STI study must be built-in into all suitable subject areas, such as reproductive health, human rights & legal aids, home economics, gender enhancement & women empowerment, social studies and knowledge.
