HIV Treatment Program Success Amongst Poorer Countries
A recent report by the UNAIDS showed that in 2009 from 144 low to middle income countries, 15 countries succeeded to provide the majority of HIV infected pregnant women with medication and care to prevent transmission of HIV to the child. Only eight countries in the group succeeded in providing universal access to HIV treatment therapy in terms of antiretroviral treatment for the adult citizens. Only 14 countries have succeeded in 2009 to provide the majority of HIV infected children with the required HIV treatments. Although 50% of pregnant women in Southern Africa had access to HIV testing in 2009, the success of HIV treatment distribution is evident in Southern Africa in the sense that the treatment coverage has increased to 41% by the end of 2009.

HIV Care And Support Play An Integral Role In Prevention Of Further Infections
It is essential to not only provide HIV care and support in the form of antiretroviral therapy, but also to ensure education programs, home assistance, and financial support to families severely affected by HIV infections. Proper HIV care should include home programs where family members can take care of infected persons. To ensure such programs work, it is essential to involve governments who should allocate adequate resources such as care centres, workers, and funding. A recent report suggests that more than five million patients receive HIV care by means of antiretroviral therapy. There are, however, still too many people who do not have access to such HIV care. Two thirds of infected persons are still not receiving antiretroviral treatments.

UNAIDS RST ESA HIV Support And Information Programs
As UNAIDS has launched an ambitious, yet reachable goal and strategy to minimize HIV infections for the period 2011-2015. An integral part of the strategy is HIV support and influencing of decision making by governments to ensure greater collaboration to fight HIV infections. Antiretroviral therapy is a form of HIV support, but so is the setting up of centres where early diagnosis of HIV and related illnesses can be made. In addition, another challenge forms part of the strategy, that of setting up adequate HIV care and support systems for infected persons and their immediate families from the moment the persons are diagnosed with HIV infection.

Sex Health Tips Help To Lower The HIV Infection Rate
Young people are especially at risk of contracting HIV because of their lifestyle choices. The UNAIDS has released a report in the fall of 2010 that shows that the rate of infection amongst young people in the age group of 15-24 has dropped with more than 25% in the 15 countries most affected by HIV infections. It does seem that sex health tips shared by means of education programs have helped to change the sexual behaviour of many young persons. More young people practice safe sex after having received sex health tips through responsible information programs. The challenge is to have the number of infections drop even further.

UNAIDS Humanitarian Services Play An Important Role In Prevention Of HIV Epidemics
Natural disasters, political conflict, food shortages, lack of hygiene facilities, displacement and poverty are all factors which can lead to emergency situations. The UNAIDS humanitarian services also extend to prevent further disasters because of the spreading of HIV infections under such circumstances. It is essential to support such humanitarian services as the likelihood of HIV infection spreading increases during post emergency situations. With more than 35% of the world’s HIV infections recorded in the Southern Africa, the need for even more humanitarian services in the region becomes eminent. The UNAIDS RST ESA has developed a range of media related products to increase awareness of HIV and to influence decision making by governments in this respect.
