  2. Outline of the presentation 1. Prevention of AIDS 2. Support for HIV-infected people

  3. Prevention of AIDS • Education • The role of law • The role of religion • Need for animal and human experiments

  4. Prevention is difficult • Lack of knowledge • Change of human behavior • Education is one of the most important tools for the fight against HIV spread

  5. Education • Necessary component in AIDS prevention • Education + practical tools => powerful motivator • Makes people realize that they are at risk

  6. Developing countries • Limited resources • Should be targeted to -high risk groups (quick response) -education of young people (slow response) • Effective country-driven prevention plans

  7. Prevention plan for CSW • Victims • Use of condoms depends on many factors • Health care • Condoms available • Reach out projects • Education in proper languages • Options available

  8. Big question is • Should we legalize prostitution??????????? • Yes? -exists anyway -makes prevention easier • No? -promotes prostitution

  9. Prevention plan for youth • Young people are specially vulnerable • Difficulties to talk about issue • Education in schools -reach almost everyone -start at young age • Education by peer-educators -model of Malaysia

  10. The Role of Law • Compulsory reporting of HIV and AIDS • Mandatory testing for AIDS • Penal sanctions for knowingly spreading HIV • Disclosure of HIV-positive status

  11. THAILAND 1985 - 1991 • “The diseases requiring notification” • Examination compulsory • Termination of action • Ordered to quit job • Report in 24 h • Violation: fines and imprisonment THAILAND 1991- • Voluntary testing and reporting • No notification needed

  12. The role of religion • Very powerful tool • Religious leaders • Social pressure • Don’t accept -homosexuals -pre-marital sex -multiple sex partners • Negative: Prohibit condom use

  13. Animal testing Agree Animal experiments Scientist • New knowledge and techniques • production & testing for vaccines and medicine • understand disease processes • toxicity, carcinogenicity and teratogenicity • Ethical problems: • Animals are living and feeling • Morally wrong to cause pain Animal rights? • Data don’t always correlate with humans

  14. Alternative choices 1) Refine: more comfortable life and less pain 2) Replace: change animals or way of using them genetic engineering computer models 3) Reduce: lowering the need or number

  15. Human testing • Benefit: Maximize the benefit, Minimize the risk • Justice: Benefit > Risk • Respect: Must be volunteer based and treated with respect
