Tutti i ministri della Salute, felice eccezione Livia Turco, non hanno mai voluto fare campagne serie in linea con quello che si fa in tutto il mondo, per non urtare la sensibilità dei cardinali, che più la politica è debole e...
UNESCO’s work on HIV and health education is carried out within the framework of both the MDGs (MDG 2 and 6) and Education for All, and reflects the outcomes of the UN High Level Meeting on HIV 2011 which include the goal of addressing comprehensive knowledge about HIV, particularly through sexuality education. UNESCO’s Strategy for HIV and AIDS (2011) is also in line with the UNAIDS Strategy 2011 – 2015 and our work is organised around the following strategic priorities:
Build country capacity for effective and sustainable education responses to HIV.
Strengthen health education, which includes comprehensive sexuality education, HIV education; and other health promoting life skills.

2012 was a year when political leaders and top health officials freely spoke of attaining an AIDS-free generation. In November, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton unveiled a blueprint for achieving that goal.
Secretary Clinton said not long ago it would have been impossible to speak of an AIDS-free generation.
“Now by an AIDS-free generation, I mean one where, first, virtually no children are born with the virus. Second, as these children become teenagers and adults they are at far lower risk of becoming infected than they would be today, thanks to a wide range of prevention tools. And third, if they do acquire HIV, they have access to treatment that helps prevent them from developing AIDS and passing the virus on to others,” she said.
This study demonstrated that post-traumatic stress symptoms were independently associated with HQOL and overall QOL, independent of depression and other confounders or potential mediators.

Zero nuove infezioni da HIV; zero morti per malattie legate all’Aids; zero discriminazione sociale. Questi sono gli obiettivi che la comunità scientifica e i governi mondiali si prefiggono di raggiungere entro il 2015. La strada è ancora lunga e certamente difficile, tuttavia l'ultimo rapporto annuale “UnAids report on the global Aids epidemic - 2012” http://goo.gl/Aphel annuncia una riduzione di oltre 700 mila nuovi casi di infezioni da HIV registrati nel 2011 rispetto al 2001. Nel mondo circa 34 milioni di persone convivono con l’infezione, e circa lo 0,8% di loro ha un'età compresa tra i 15 e 49 anni. L’Africa sub-sahariana si conferma la regione più colpita con circa il 5% della popolazione infetta; ma anche lì, grazie alle strategie di prevenzione e al miglioramento delle cure, negli ultimi sei anni la mortalità per Aids è diminuita di un terzo.
