Blame and Banishment - the Underground Epidemic Affecting Children in Eastern Europe and Central Asia
In Osteuropa und den Nachfolgestaaten der ehemaligen Sowjetunion breitet sich nach einer neuen Untersuchung von UNICEF eine verdeckte Aids-Epidemie unter benachteiligten Kindern und Jugendlichen rasant aus. Diese wird durch eine explosive Mischung aus Drogenmissbrauch und sexueller Übertragung unter Heranwachsenden, die am Rande der Gesellschaft leben, vorangetrieben. Die bestehenden Gesundheits- und Aufklärungsprogramme erreichen diese Risikogruppen nicht. Stattdessen werden die betroffenen Kinder und Jugendlichen als delinquent und „asozial“ gebrandmarkt. engl., 56 Seiten, 2010 | kostenlos | Download - Summary: Children and AIDS – Fourth Stocktaking Report, 2009
An AIDS-free generation is not impossible. Yet the world is not on track to meet targets for HIV prevention, treatment, care and support, and the global economic crisis raises concerns about sustaining and expanding assistance. This Fourth Stocktaking Report highlights progress made and challenges that remain in scaling up services for women, children and young people affected by the epidemic, and it calls for concerted action and continued commitments amid economic difficulties that affect all countries. | kostenlos | Download - U 0054
Children and AIDS – Fourth Stocktaking Report, 2009
In 2005, the epidemic’s consequences prompted UNICEF, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and other partners to launch Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS, a global campaign to focus attention and resources on mitigating the worst effects of HIV and AIDS on children and young people. Four years into this effort, many lives have been saved or improved because national governments, non-governmental organizations, local communities and international organizations have been examining the evidence and responding. The prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV is a global objective. Combination prevention – integrating behavioural, structural/social and biomedical approaches – can help to reduce HIV prevalence among young people. AIDS-sensitive, rather than AIDS-exclusive, interventions are being embraced in many places to benefit children affected by AIDS. In the face of evidence showing how crucial it is for saving young lives, early infant diagnosis has been established as a priority and is now available to more infants than ever. With new evidence suggesting that peak AIDS mortality in infants may come at a very young age – two to three months in one study1 – there is even more urgency to implement these recommendations. | kostenlos | Download - Scaling up Early Infant Diagnosis and Linkages to Care and Treatment

All infants who are exposed to HIV should be tested, even if their mothers received antiretrovirals (ARVs) for PMTCT. Evidence has shown that HIV infection follows a more aggressive course among infants and children than among adults. Without access to life-saving drugs, including antiretroviral therapy and preventive interventions such as cotrimoxazole prophylaxis, about one-third of infants will die by age 1 year, and 50% by age 2 years. | kostenlos | Download - Children and AIDS - Third stocktaking report (deutsche Zusammenfassung)

Children and AIDS - Second stocktaking report
For millions of children, HIV and AIDS have starkly altered the experience of growing up. In 2007, it was estimated that 2.1 million children under age 15 were living with HIV. As of 2005, more than 15 million children under 18 have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Millions more have experienced deepening poverty, school dropout and discrimination as a result of the epidemic. | kostenlos | Download - I 0020
Caring for children affected by HIV and AIDS
2006, 53 pages, engl.
Around the world, millions of children have lost one or both parents to AIDS, and millions more live with sick and dying family members. The profound trauma of losing one or both parents has devastating long-term implications, not only for a child’s well-being and development, but for the stability of some communities. AIDS is killing not only parents, but also brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, neighbours, teachers and other members of the community. It is emptying schools, wiping out families and extinguishing hope. If it takes a village to raise a child, what happens to that child when the village is besieged by the dying and the dead? | EUR 3.00 | Download

Children and AIDS - a stocktaking report
Twenty-five years into the AIDS epidemic, the children in its path remain at grave risk. It is estimated that 2.3 million children under 15 years old are infected with HIV, 15.2 million children under 18 have lost one or both parents to AIDS, and millions more have been made vulnerable. The risks inherent in these statistics are many, as children affected by AIDS may experience poverty, homelessness, school drop-out, discrimination, loss of life opportunity and early death. Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS was launched in October 2005 with the goal of putting the ‘missing face’ of children at the centre of the global HIV/AIDS agenda. In the year since, the world’s response to protect and support AIDS-affected children remains tragically insufficient. But in important and positive ways, that is beginning to change. | kostenlos | Download - U 0038
Africa's Orphaned and Vulnerable Generations: Children affected by AIDS
Africa's Orphaned and Vulnerable Generations: Children affected by AIDS shows how the AIDS epidemic continues to affect children disproportionately and in many harmful ways, making them more vulnerable than other children, leaving many of them orphaned, and threatening their survival. Released by UNICEF, UNAIDS and PEPFAR (The US President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief), the report contains new and improved research on orphans and vulnerable children, including what governments, NGOs, the private sector and the international community can do to better respond. | EUR 2.00 | Download

Young People and HIV/AIDS: Opportunity in Crisis
48 pages, engl.
There is a way to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS: We must focus on young people. More than half of those newly infected with HIV today are between 15 and 24 years old. Yet the needs of the world’s 1 billion young people are routinely disregarded when strategies on HIV/AIDS are drafted, policies made and budgets allocated. This is especially tragic as young people are more likely than adults to adopt and maintain safe behaviours.
This landmark report contains important new data about why young people are key to defeating the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, including results from more than 60 new national surveys. It reaffirms that we must accord top priority to making investments in the well-being of young people and to engaging them in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Produced by UNICEF, UNAIDS and WHO, the report is the first comprehensive look at the knowledge and behaviour of people aged 15 to 24 relating to HIV/AIDS. | EUR 4.00

Millions of children are growing up without parents. Millions more are in households with family members sick or dying from AIDS; children in sub-Saharan African have been hardest hit. Children on the Brink 2004 presents the latest statistics on historical, current and projected numbers of children under 18 who have been orphaned by AIDS and other causes. This edition of the biannial report underscores the changing needs of this vulnerable group as they progress through adolescence and calls for the urgent development and expansion of family and community support. | kostenlos
