La Giornata mondiale contro l'AIDS si svolge ogni anno a dicembre. Questo elenco di letture contiene un elenco di ricerche, pubblicazioni e risorse per i professionisti relative all'HIV/AIDS. Abbiamo anche una rete dedicata all'HIV e all'HCV dove puoi trovare una raccolta di ulteriori letture.
L'UNODC ha sviluppato una serie di pubblicazioni relative all'uso di droghe e all'HIV. Qui potete saperne di più sul lavoro svolto dall'UNODC in relazione all'uso di droghe e all'HIV; carceri e HIV; l'HIV e gli obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile; e fattori abilitanti critici.
People with mental illness and/or SUD are disproportionally affected by HIV. They may participate in behaviours that increase risk for contracting and transmitting HIV, such as sharing injection drug equipment or engaging in sexual behaviours that increase HIV risk. This guide addresses the co-occurrence of HIV and mental illness and/or SUD. It reviews effective programs and practices to prevent HIV and, for those with HIV, to increase linkage and retention in care in order to improve health outcomes.

L'integrazione delle cure relative all'HIV con il trattamento del disturbo da uso di sostanze offre l'opportunità di soddisfare meglio le esigenze delle persone che vivono con queste condizioni. Le persone con disturbo da uso di sostanze sono rese particolarmente vulnerabili dalle politiche prevalenti, dalle disuguaglianze strutturali e dalla stigmatizzazione.
In questo articolo, gli autori analizzano la letteratura esistente e le evidenze empiriche provenienti da revisioni di scoping sui progetti di integrazione per il trattamento dell'HIV e del disturbo da uso di sostanze, per comprendere...
This side event for the 65th Commission on Narcotic Drugs was originally presented on 14 March, 2022. Organised by INPUD, it was co-sponsored by Médecins du Monde, UNAIDS, UNODC HIV/AIDS Section, the Netherlands and Australia.
In 2021, thanks to significant advocacy work by people who use drugs and other key population networks, both the Global AIDS Strategy 2022-2026 and the 2021 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS committed Member States to fulfill bold new targets on ‘social enablers’ which have significant implications concerning drug policy.
The 2021-2026 Global AIDS Strategy has bold and critical new targets on realizing human rights, reducing stigma, discrimination and violence and removing harmful punitive laws as a pathway to ending inequalities and ultimately ending AIDS.
To aid in the scale-up of interventions to remove these societal barriers, UNAIDS has produced a series of fact sheets on human rights in various areas, highlighting the critical need to scale up action on rights.
This factsheet provides an overview of the latest data, shares information on human rights, and describes the global targets and standards...
A new publication by UNAIDS and the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the importance of integrating HIV and mental health services and other interventions, including linkages to social protection services, for people living with HIV and other vulnerable populations.
Mental health conditions increase the risk of HIV infection, and people living with HIV have an increased risk of mental health conditions, which are associated with lower retention in HIV care, increased risk behaviours and lower engagement with HIV prevention.
Furthermore, despite an increasing body of evidence...
La condivisione di apparecchiature per l'iniezione di droghe aumenta il rischio di trasmissione e acquisizione di infezioni trasmissibili per via ematica, come l'HIV e l'epatite B e C. Sebbene l'epatite C sia l'infezione virale trasmissibile per via ematica più diffusa tra le persone che si iniettano droghe (PWID), il consumo di droghe per via parenterale rimane un'importante modalità di trasmissione dell'HIV in alcuni paesi dell'UE e continuano a verificarsi focolai locali. Nonostante il calo dei tassi di trasmissione dell'HIV negli ultimi anni, più di 1 nuovo caso di AIDS su 10 nell'UE è...

BACKGROUND:
The high prevalence of HIV and substance use disorders (SUD) in Ukraine remains a significant public health problem. A well-trained, recovery-oriented national workforce to enhance SUD treatment associated with HIV care is needed to reduce substance use and HIV-related burden in the country.
METHODS:
The Ukraine Addiction Transfer Technology Center (Ukraine ATTC) was established in 2017 to provide training and technical assistance on the intersection of HIV and SUD to support efforts to control the HIV epidemic in Ukraine. Data were derived from Ukraine ATTC initiatives in...

This article explores the lessons learned during the implementation of a peer-facilitated hepatitis C virus hepatitis C testing and treatment access project called the Live Hep C Free project in contributing to micro-elimination efforts.
The Live Hep C Free project aims to facilitate access to on-the-spot hepatitis C virus testing, treatment, and care in priority settings through a partnership between a peer worker and a clinical nurse. Since the start of the project in January 2018, 4515 people were engaged about hepatitis C virus and encouraged to access on-site hepatitis C virus health...

La diagnosi precoce della sindrome da immunodeficienza acquisita consente alle persone infette di utilizzare la profilassi contro le infezioni opportunistiche e iniziare il trattamento immediato per le complicanze secondarie. Le persone che ricevono un trattamento beneficiano di un maggiore sostegno sociale e, soprattutto, cambiano il loro comportamento per evitare che il virus si diffonda ad altri. Uno dei principali metodi di trasmissione dell'HIV è attraverso iniezioni di farmaci, e questo gruppo è responsabile della diffusione dell'HIV poiché ignorano la loro malattia. La coesistenza dell...
