Paperback. Condizione: New. People who inject drugs (PWID) are at higher risk for acquiring HIV infection than the general population in many countries. Injecting drug use is present in 148 countries including a wide array of low and middle income countries where HIV incidence is growing in recent years - even as it declines elsewhere. This study was undertaken as the third of a series of three economic analyses examining the global epidemics of HIV/AIDS in vulnerable populations. Informed by a critical review of epidemiological evidence and the most recent analyses of intervention efficacy, this work modelled the costs and impact of addressing the needs of PWID at scale in various epidemic contexts. These particular research questions were addressed:What are the modelled epidemic impact and costs of implementing a minimum adaptable package of evidence-based and human rights affirming services for prevention, treatment, and care of HIV/AIDS in PWID in globally representative epidemic scenarios?What are the estimated returns on investment and costs of inaction of addressing these epidemics? Taken together, the findings indicate:Service coverage levels for ART and key harm reduction interventions with HIV prevention benefits are generally inadequate. Allocative decisions for HIV/AIDS should better reflect the burden of transmission and disease. HIV transmission dynamics can be significantly reduced by scaling up a package of four key harm reduction interventions specific to PWID: Needle and Syringe Programs, Medically Assisted Therapy and HIV Counseling and Testing, as well as proportionate access in ART scale-up. Evidence-based and effective interventions for PWID should be funded and implemented - in the context of HIV prevention services for the general population, such as condom promotion. Interventions for PWID - particularly in combination with treatment services - are cost effective or highly cost effective investment choices across the breadth of the global epidemic. The study presents compelling evidence for the most cost-effective approaches to minimising the transmission and impacts of HIV in this key population. This evidence may guide both operational design and policy dialogue in World Bank operations.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A two-time cancer survivor, the author of this frank, intimate, and lively memoir has been healthy for years when the disease suddenly returns. An out-of-the-blue pain takes her breath away and she is literally knocked off her feet; her life is turned upside down. Andrea Cleghorn's cancer has metatasized this time around, an embolism causing a firestorm in her body and havoc with her personal life. Does she choose cautious treatment that will slow the cancer's progression or go with the 'total abdominal extravaganza,' the aggressive surgery that comes with a long recuperation and the risk of serious complications Doctors disagree on the best strategy: Will it or will it not be the Whipple A journalist, Cleghorn's writing combines accurate reporting with a colorful sense of story and anecdotes that prove 'you can't make this stuff up.' The reader is drawn into an adventure story of a most unusual kind as she copes with one pothole after another on the road to recovery. Though dealing with cancer is at the center of the story, it is a compelling tale of the value of community, not only accepting help but learning how to ask for it. The reader gets to know the people in the author's new-normal life, from the members of a remarkable medical community as well as her disparate collection of extremely generous, loyal, very funny friends. These women coalesce into an unstoppable army that cares for, protects and encourages her, forming a team that helps her survive and eventually thrive. Not for a minute minimizing the seriousness of the circumstances, the resiliency and the no-matter-what humor of Cleghorn's life force fill every page of this engaging memoir.…
