The Price Of Labor In Indi A Global Epidemic

The low income due to HIV/AIDS leads to low consumption of goods and little savings, which results in malnutrition, inability to combat illness and a lack of education and skills. The low capital worth, low

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS is a pandemic problem affecting global health. At the end of 2015, 36.7 million people were living with HIV/AIDS globally. The rate of incidence is more prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa with almost 1 in every 24 adults living with HIV/AIDS. In the united states, HIV/AIDS is a diversified health problem affecting all sexes, ages and races and involving the transmission of multiple risk behavior. However, with the introduction of various prevention programs and antiretroviral drugs, the incidence of HIV/AIDS has reduced.

The research provided me with the information the developing countries have a higher rate of HIV/AIDS infection than highly developed countries. The statistics from “ The Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic” show that 36.7 million people in the world have HIV/AIDS, and of the 36.7 million, 19 million are in

Although HIV is no longer the automatic death sentence it was in the 80’s, it remains a thorn even in our modern societies. For instance, HIV treatment is exponentially expensive, and can only be afforded by residents in developed countries. In fact, most third world nations are still in the 80’s as far as HIV treatment technology is concerned. Fatality rates particularly in Africa are astronomical to say the least (Rensburg 267). With prices, for

During past 30 years, the rate of infected people in Uganda and Zimbabwe. In Asia, Thailand’s rate was so high. A few years later, the rate of South Africa started to increase. The rate of Uganda and Zimbabwe started to decrease. Nowadays, we are in the plateau of HIV. It does not mean that it will be better; mean it is not the worst. In present, 1% of whole people is infected person, and it is same with the number of people in California.

Since the first cases of HIV were detected among female sex workers (FSW) in Chennai, India in 1986, dramatic progress has been made in the last three decades in the battle against HIV both in India and globally (Mayer, 2011). Despite this progress, new infections continue to occur - in 2012, there were an estimated 2.3 million persons newly infected with HIV globally (UNAIDS, 2013). Many new infections often occur within the context of a serodiscordant relationship – an infected partner in a relationship transmits HIV to the uninfected partner. Over the past thirty years, several interventions have been identified to prevent HIV transmission from HIV-infected persons to uninfected persons in serodiscordant relationships. Yet, transmissions continue to occur. Interventions such as voluntary counseling and testing, condom promotion, and risk reduction counseling are very effective in preventing transmission among serodiscordant couples but are underutilized in India despite their widespread availability (Kumar et al., 2011). Interventions such as pre-risk exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and universal antiretroviral therapy (irrespective of CD4 count) have been newly identified but face several challenges that impede their widespread implementation in India (Kumar et al., 2011). Serodiscordant couples in India also face certain unique socio-cultural issues such as marital and fertility pressure (Gupta et al., 2010).

amenities of life.Additionally,healthcare system of India is very low and expensive which is unfordable for common man as compared to Canada,where everyone has right to access these services.indain authorities spend 98.93% less money than canada on health care facilities,due to this 9.2 indians more likely to die in infancy and 13.87 years die sooner than canadians.Lack of proper medical system in India gave birth to various severe diseases like HIV/AIDS which takes lives of 135,500 indians each year according to CIA world factbook.For example,in Canada mostly every person has family doctor who keeps records in computer of all medical history and moreover,vacinate person whenever needed,on the contrary Indians use to go to different doctors,who has no history of patient,treats patient with his own methods. Henceforth,essential amenities of life attracts indians to canada,to live they can spend their life healthy and grab neccesities of livelyhood

India has the third largest population of people living with HIV, behind Nigeria (second largest) and South Africa (largest population) (“India has 3rd Highest Number of HIV Infections,” 2014). There are approximately 2,100,000 [1,700,000 - 2,700,000] people living with HIV in India and there is a prevalence rate of 0.3% [0.2% - 0.3%] for adults aged 15 to 49 (“HIV and AIDS Estimates in 2013,” 2013). There is a high risk for HIV infection in India due to the high rate of unprotected sex, low use of condoms, injecting drugs with HIV contaminated needles, the low social and political status of women and the negative stigma associated with being HIV positive (“HIV/AIDS in India,” 2012). The main focus of the government on HIV and AIDS is to spread awareness in the population and to convey the importance of protected sex and blood safety. These goals about HIV infection prevention are addressed by various organizations in India and in the world, such as the AIDS Society of India and UNAIDS (“HIV/AIDS in India,” 2012). However, the majority of the HIV population in India does not know their HIV positive status, coverage of HIV treatment is only 36 percent and 64 percent do not have access to HIV antiretroviral treatment options (“India has 3rd Highest Number of HIV Infections,” 2014).

An epidemic can be defined as “The rapid spread of infectious disease to a large number of people in a given population within a short period of time”. When the culmination of an epidemic spreads across countries (then being identified as a pandemic) the affliction of the disease affects people of all varieties, being excluded from no cultural or social background. From The Black Death of 1347 to the Spanish Flu during World War I, pandemics have deeply affected populations throughout the world, sparking extreme social, economic, and medical advancements that have helped to shape communities of all diversities. One particularly influential pandemic that spread through Californian communities was the HIV/AIDS outbreak, an extremely erratic and largely unknown disease even of it’s modern time. The large scale spread of HIV/AIDS in California beginning roughly between late 1970’s/early 1980’s caused panic among medical professionals and affected communities throughout the entire state as well as The United States as a whole, ultimately becoming recognized as one of the largest modern pandemics worldwide.

Women with drug addictions has conclusively linked with HIV/ AIDS since this epidemic has started. HIV is the acronym for human immunodeficiency virus and it causes the immune system to become weak. As a result, this causes the body to be terrible at protecting itself against diseases and other viruses. HIV causes damage by harming the immune cells in the body. The immune cells it affects are called CD4 positive (CD4+) T cells, which are vital for fighting infections in the body. HIV metamorphose the CD4+T cells into little factories that cause the production of more of the virus to destroy other healthy cells, which eventually destroys the CD4+ T cells. When a person has less than 200 in cell count, the patient diagnosed with the disease AIDS. HIV/AIDS and its link to drugs is involved when risky behaviors are involved when transmitting or contracting the deadly disease. Since AIDS is not cure-able, prevention of transmission can be avoided is very important to understand in sexual education. Some treatments and therapies are given to drug abusers, which aid these goals of sexual education. The immune system weakens when the T cells are lost and as a result, a person becomes more subject to infections and common illnesses, to help slow this process down, special medicine is distributed to the person infected with the virus. Some medicines and remedies are given to HIV patients to help lower the risk of transmission and advancement of the disease. In addition, it helps

HIV is a virus that is spread almost all over the world. Although in some places health care isn’t as developed and therefore it spreads more in those regions. Sub-Saharan Africa holds more than 70%, 25 million, of all HIV positive people in the world. Second highest is Eastern Europe together with Central Asia with 1.3 million. It is spread over most of the world, including Asia and the Pacific, the Caribbean, Central and South America, North Africa and the Middle East and Western and Central Europe (“The Regional Picture”).

The country of India is second in terms of population size and the major cities are becoming overcrowded. Poverty rates in India have increased over the last few years and despite the economic boom the country is experiencing, the people are still living in overcrowded ghettos or slums. Overcrowding and population has brought healthcare challenges. In India, maternal and child mortality are still high, malnutrition among children and pregnant women increase yearly, and the country leads the numbers of Tuberculosis (TB) infection. Furthermore, India’s HIV problem has increased and now is third among 195 countries. The lack of basic healthcare, support and supplies from Indian official has only fueled the healthcare challenges it faces.

Due to their nature of work, they can easily get sexually transmitted diseases, such as Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Chancroid. In addition, HIV is the most dangerous illness that they can get. Although the number of people who have the diseases is small, “it is estimated that without any intervention the prevalence in the general adult population could be as high as 2% in 2012 and 8% by 2025” (HIV and AIDS in Bangladesh 2009). According to the recent Children and AIDS, Third Stocktaking Report 2008 published by four UN agencies, only 16% of girls aged between 15 and 24 had a comprehensive knowledge of HIV in Bangladesh and 60% of males had never used a condom. Thus, for the women working in the profession, not only the name “prostitute” but also the illness will follow them the rest of their lives.

In India, HIV which causes AIDS appeared much later than any parts of the world. However, the disease is spreading with unprecedented rapidity and has now emerged as a serious socio-economic and public health problem. HIV and AIDS is a term in today’s world that has become synonymous with epidemic. The truth is that the HIV/ AIDS pandemic have affected not only the adults but even the youth and the children. Hence, it becomes all the more important to know the various interventions in the prevention and control of HIV and AIDS so that we all are able to live a safe and long life. Stigma and discrimination towards the victim and the family are the major obstacles

This essay will compare the HIV/AIDS prevention and care programmes in Gujarat and Maharashtra. Gujrat has below 5% prevalence rate among high risk groups and less than 1% in the
