Although health communication research on HIV/AIDS has acknowledged the work of HIV/AIDS non-governmental organizations (NGOs), we know little about how such NGOs are collaborating in their response to the epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). UNAIDS estimated that over two-thirds of world-wide HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths take place in SSA and normative models have highlighted organizational collaborations as an important part of the response to public health risks and crises. This study advanced the New Communications Framework for HIV/AIDS by drawing on a constitutive model of communication to develop a discursive perspective on HIV/AIDS NGO collaborations. Analyses of interviews with 36 leaders of Tanzanian HIV/AIDS NGOs resulted in (a) networks of organizations of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and (b) networks expressing the following identities: as single entities that unify PLWHA organizations in/across administrative divisions, as structures for reaching grassroots PLWHA and facilitating their participation in decision-making forums at various scales, and as vehicles for various social impacts such as advocacy for PLWHA.

Living With Hiv

Acupuncture in combination with antiretroviral therapies is a potentially useful treatment for HIV-related symptom relief in resource-poor settings. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of being used to enhance immune function. In the setting of HIV, Chinese traditional medicine allows for symptom treatment without adding extra medications to a complex drug regime. This paper provides details of a project at Mae On Hospital in rural northern Thailand where allopathic/conventional treatments are used in tandem with acupuncture. A preliminary evaluation of the project suggests that an integrated approach to symptom relief is viewed positively by respondents receiving acupuncture, though further studies are required to confirm the association between acupuncture and symptom relief. The project also demonstrates the feasibility of developing a cost-effective acupuncture programme using local healthcare staff.

Appropriate hard copies of books and journal articles were also  included. Conclusion: While the management of TB in children is characterized by difficulties due to both peculiarities of children and the disease;  with detailed clinical assessment and examination of necessary specimen in addition to strict adherence to the guidelines of the national TB control  program, more cases of TB in children can be prevented, diagnosed, treated and reported.

HIV / AIDS cases in Indonesia continue to increase and have spread to all provinces in Indonesia. As the province with the highest number of HIV cases, DKI Jakarta through the Provincial AIDS Commission (KPAP) seeks to prevent the increase of HIV / AIDS cases through collaborative governance between the Government, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and the public. This collaborative governance is reinforced through Governor Regulation No. 231 of 2015 concerning the Organization and Work Procedure of the Jakarta Capital City Provincial AIDS Commission and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Regulation Number 5 of 2008 concerning HIV and AIDS Prevention. This research was conducted to analyze the process of collaboration between the Government, NGOs and Communities in the DKI Jakarta Province. In addition, this study aimed to provide strategic recommendations for effective collaborative governance in the context of HIV / AIDS prevention in DKI Jakarta Province. This study used descriptive qualitative research methods that described the collaborative process of preventing HIV / AIDS in DKI Jakarta Province. Therefore, this study used a collaborative governance theory that focused on the collaborative process. Based on the research, it was known that collaborative governance has been established between KPAP, Health Office, NGOs, Working Groups (Pokja), and the Community. However, it was still not effective because of the lack of roles of working groups and NGOs that were still dependent on donor agencies in carrying out their activities.
