Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention

Programmes

PHDP_report

At an International Technical Consultation organised by GNP+ and UNAIDS in Tunisia in April 2009, people living with HIV worked with civil society, government agencies, international development agencies, UNAIDS Cosponsors and donor agencies to develop the concept of ‘Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention’ and to establish the values and principles underpinning it.

Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention highlights and links issues of HIV treatment, prevention, support and care within a human rights framework.

The International Technical Consultation is part of an ongoing process of reinforcing the leadership role of people living with HIV in Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention. Further consultations at regional level and with key populations are underway in order to establish a common understanding of Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention and provide guidance in developing policies and programmes globally.

Consultations with people living with HIV on PMTCT

Tuesday, 05 April 2011

From December 2010 to February 2011, GNP+ and ICW Global held a series of consultations with people living with HIV to gather their perspectives and personal experiences on how programmes and services that seek to prevent the transmission of HIV from a mother to a child should be organised and run. The recommendations from people living with HIV were shared with the Interagency Task Team (IATT) for Prevention of HIV Infection in Pregnant Women, Mothers, and their Children to support them in strengthening a strategic framework they are developing for the primary prevention of HIV among women of reproductive age and the prevention of unintended pregnancies among women living with HIV (components 1 and 2 of PMTCT).
