HIV stigma in the healthcare setting.pdf

Documents

Description

"The report provides insights into the level and characteristics of HIV-related stigma in the healthcare setting in
Europe and Central Asia and outlines areas that need to be addressed. The report identifies an urgent need for
robust, multifaceted interventions, encompassing education and facility-level guidelines to eliminate stigma,
improve HIV knowledge among healthcare workers, and ensure equitable, non-stigmatising care for all people
living with HIV, ultimately contributing to the global goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030" (p. 1)

A Guide to Do it Better in Our CBVCT Centres.pdf

Description

"The implementation and improvement of community-based voluntary counselling and testing
(CBVCT) services is a means of offering these so-called hard-to-reach or more-at-risk populations an
opportunity to know their HIV status, receiving information and counselling, being linked to the
health system if necessary and being treated in a non-judgmental way. The community-based
approach will be the leitmotiv of this document, since CBVCT services target one or more
communities and include community members in at least one part of the implementation process
of the service.
The CBVCT approach can break down many barriers to HIV testing among most-at-risk populations
through the social proximity of the staff to the target community. Promotion of quality
implementation of CBVCT is necessary to guarantee and extend the valuable characteristics of the
community-based approach." (p. 4)

Community-based HIV & Mental Health Care.pdf

Documents

Description

"Clear, evidence-based links have been identified between HIV infection and a higher prevalence of mental
health conditions compared to the general population. This discussion paper draws on existing policy and
good practice to identify key policy themes and types of interventions for improving community-based HIV
and mental health care.
The paper also references two EATG-sponsored stakeholder events. The first event, which was internal to
EATG, demonstrated that there is already significant experience among members about the HIV and mental
health continuum of care. The second event included stakeholders external to EATG. The discussion made it
very clear that WHO and others have been working on building a solid HIV and mental health continuum of
care for years now. Presenters shared examples of lay workers and clinicians collaborating at the community
and institutional/hospital levels, adapting what they do to national needs and the shape of their HIV epidemic." (p. 3)
