If, like us, you're at work all day long, you probably don't often get the chance to catch The Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV on weekday afternoons. That's a real shame because Alan has taken it upon himself to explore the exciting world of sex toys.
With resident sex expert Julie Peasgood, Alan has tackl.s of women living with HIV and AIDS and receiving medical care had minor children at home. For these and other reasons, women living with HIV or AIDS are less able to access care and remain in care than men. In fact, women infected by HIV are less likely to receive necessary medication, are more likely to postpone care because they lack transportation or are too sick to go to the doctor, and have higher rates of hospitalizations than men. At the same time, women’s clinical and symptomatic experience of HIV is different from that of men, resulting in distinct medical needs.
The National HIV/AIDS Strategy (“NHAS”), released in July 2010, noted that “people with competing demands and challenges meeting their basic needs for housing, food, and child care often have problems staying in care.” Recognizing the connection between effective treatment and prevention, the NHAS Implementation Plan underscores the positive role of social services in prevention strategies. The Implementation Plan encourages “policies to promote access to housing and supportive services…
That enable people living with HIV to obtain and adhere to HIV treatment.Timely connection to and retention in medical care correlates with better individ.impact of HIV infection on Ontarians. Key findings include: More than 4,700 women are living with HIV in Ontario, most of whom acquired HIV through sexual contact. This represents 18% of the estimated HIV infections in the province. Women who emigrated from a country where HIV is endemic account for more than half of all new infections in 2008 among women. Women reported lower rates of condom use than men.
Women who inject drugs report riskier injection behaviours than men. One third of users of community based HIV services are women Over 90% of HIV-positive pregnant women who knew their HIV status received antiretrovirals during pregnancy, which could prevent transmission to the newborn.High rates of prenatal HIV screening show that when we have an organized and targeted program we can achieve measurable improvements in care, says Dr. Arlene Bierman, a physician at St. Michael's Hospital and principal investigator of the study.
We need to develop programs that ensure that all women who are at risk are screened and when tests are positive that they receive HIV care in a timely manner. Routine monitoring of quality indicators will allow us to evaluate these programs, adds Dr. Bierman, also an ICES investigator.
