GNP+ presented 14 posters during the 2010 International AIDS Conference in Vienna, AIDS2010. This poster focused on the work of the New Prevention Technology expert group, and their findings with regards to the role of people living with HIV in these trials.

 

 

Reproduced from the Good Practice Guide on the Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV (GIPA), published in 2010 by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance and the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+).

This report gives a global overview of the extent to which criminal and other laws have been used to prosecute people living with HIV for HIV transmission and exposure. The full impact of these laws on the human rights of people living with HIV and on access to treatment, care and support has yet to be fully understood. However, the evidence presented here shows that there is no correlation between the HIV prevalence in a country and the willingness of countries to use criminal laws and other punitive measures to regulate transmission.

A summary of results was presented at AIDS2010 in this poster.

This document reports on the findings of an exploratory study on coping strategies and life choices of couples in South Africa, Tanzania and the Ukraine living in long-term serodiscordant relationships – in which one partner is HIV-positive and the other HIV-negative. The primary motivation for doing the study was to inform prevention programmes and global advocacy efforts of GNP+ to promote the health of people living with HIV.

The study was conducted by GNP+, in collaboration with the Centre for Health Policy at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) in Cape Town, South Africa.

A synopsis was published in the Reproductive Health Matters Magazine nr 37.

‘Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention’ focuses on improving and maintaining the health and well-being of people living with HIV, which, in turn, contributes to the health and well-being of partners, families and communities. This brochure summarizes the concept of Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention.

“Making the law work for the HIV response: A snapshot of selected laws that support or block universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support” is a compilation of some of the laws that can help create a legal envorinment which enable universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support (protective laws) or that can block such access for people living with HIV, sex workers and their clients, men who have sex with men and people who use drugs (punitive laws).
