AIDS in South America |
It is tragic that HIV should single out a youthful
and otherwise relatively healthy population group.
But it is hardly a coincidence, given the daily
circumstances of many young people’s lives.
As we have learnt
from two decades of experience with this epidemic, the path
of HIV is eased by poverty, lack of skills, violence,
and harmful social norms such as machismo and early sexual
debut.

Economic determinants of HIV transmission in Latin America |
HIV/AIDS
has developed under diverse conditions around the world with
consequent variations in the mode of transmission and the
rate of transmission. In the industrialized countries, what
began as an epidemic amongst gays and then needle-sharing
drug users, is now increasingly, concentrated in poor and
marginalized sectors of the populations…Latin America
represents a composite of the industrial and developing
worlds both in its economic performance and in its HIV

Risk Factors for HIV among Housewives in San Salvador |
Historically, HIV/AIDS behavioral research has focused on
those populations and communities considered at highest risk
for contracting and transmitting HIV. Other than female
sex workers, however, women have been neglected
internationally as a focus of AIDS research.
Consequently, there has been inadequate understanding of women
at risk and little attention to gender specific prevention

Stigma, Discrimination and HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the
Caribbean |
In 2002,
it was estimated that 1.9 million adults and children were
living with HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the Caribbean. Of
these, an estimated 1.5 million were in Latin America and
470,000 in the Caribbean. Prevalence rates at 2% are the
second fastest growing in the world. Prevalence rates in
high risk groups can reach 5%, and there is a sharp rise in
the case of women infected with HIV/AIDS. These speak to the
urgent need to give concerted attention to the HIV/AIDS
situation in all countries of the region. |

STIGMATIZATION AND ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IN LATIN AMERICA:
CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES |
Stigma
associated with mental illness produces a series of adverse
conditions that can result in exclusion in health. From the
perspective of health systems, however, this phenomenon has
not been widely studied. Hence the purpose of this study is
to establish the importance of stigma as a barrier to access
to the health services, and to identify ways to reduce
exclusion in health due to stigma that go beyond the
protection of the rights of the individual and place it
within the framework of the extension of social protection
in health. |
