The first two AIDS cases were reported in 1986. Since then, the disease has spread at an alarming rate. Currently, the Country is home to the third largest HIV/AIDS infected population next to India and South Africa. According to a recent report by the Ministry of Health, a total of 2.2 million people are estimated to live with the HIV virus, of which 200,000 are AIDS cases. Evidences show the adverse effects of HIV/AIDS on life expectancy. HIV/AIDS resulted in a life expectancy of 46 years instead of 53 years in 2001 (a decline by 7 years). If the spread of the disease is not checked, by 2014, the life expectancy at birth is estimated to be 9 years below projected life expectancy had there been no HIV/AIDS (MoH 2002). 2003-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.iphce.org/xmlui/handle/123456789/5265 Workplace HIV/AIDS policy - Guideline HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office Over the past two decades the human immunodeficiency virus has spread silently throughout the world profoundly affecting the lives of men and women, their families, and societies. It has not respected international boundaries or spared the elite. By the time that researchers understood how HIV spreads, how it can be prevented, and behaviors that put people at risk, HIV had already infected millions of adults in the industrial and developing world. The number of people infected with HIV in the world has already reached about 55 million of which 22 million have already died. Today, an estimated 36 million people are living with HIV; about 95% are found in the developing world and a staggering 70% in Sub-Saharan Africa alone, where resources to confront the epidemic are most scarce. 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.iphce.org/xmlui/handle/123456789/5262 Social mobilization for prevention and control of HIV and AIDS: Behavioral Change Communication (BCC) material development guideline HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office The document offers step-by-step guidelines for developing/producing accurate, useful, and action oriented behavioral change communication materials to meet the communication needs of HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care and support programs.
