Challenges facing South Africa in combating this pandemic include the social responses of fear, denial, stigma and discrimination. Stigma related to HIV and AIDS poses a major barrier to treating and managing HIV and AIDS. Stigma is defined as involving an attribute which significantly discredits an individual in the eyes of others or society. This attribute is therefore seen by others as being negative, something which devalues, spoils or flaws an individual. Perceived or felt stig

Poor medication adherence is acknowledged as a major public health problem, reducing the effectiveness of therapy and promoting resistance to ARVs.

A case in point is how donors dictate terms on the HIV/Aids communication strategies at TVM.

Abstract:

A Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (aids) configura-se como um dos grandes fenômenos da saúde pública na atualidade. Considerada como uma condição crônica manejável e controlável, porém não curável, torna-se necessário pensar em mecanismos que possibilitem minimizar os episódios de agudização e instabilidade das condições clínicas e de saúde. Esse estudo objetivou analisar as condições clínicas das pessoas que viviam com aids em acompanhamento nos serviços de assistência especializada (SAE) em HIV/aids do município de Ribeirão Preto-SP.

In 2008 the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the co-discoverers of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1), the causative agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
