Increase in severe acute hepatitis cases of unknown aetiology in children shabnam.abdullayeva_2293 Wed, 07/27/2022 - 12:40

As of 20 April 2022, 111 cases had been reported from the UK, and as of 27 April 2022 approximately 55 probable and confirmed cases have been reported from 12 EU/EEA countries. An additional 12 cases have been reported from the United States (US), 12 from Israel, and one from Japan. The clinical picture is of severe acute hepatitis requiring hospitalisation with jaundice and markedly elevated liver transaminases. In most cases to date, the onset of jaundice was preceded by a gastrointestinal illness with vomiting, diarrhoea, and nausea. Information on the outcome of the cases is still being collected. So far, most patients for whom information is available have recovered, but a number have progressed to acute liver failure and required liver transplantation.

Mothers and babies can’t wait: A call for action to end mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis

Mothers and babies can’t wait: A call for action to end mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis shabnam.abdullayeva_2293 Wed, 07/27/2022 - 12:25

As the World Health Organization (WHO) works toward its goal to eliminate hepatitis B by 2030, the quest to halt hepatitis B mother-to-child transmission has never been more urgent.

Many of the key issues brought into focus over recent years have combined to delay progress of the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of hepatitis B. Such issues include racial inequality, discrimination against women, and gross inequalities of healthcare access across the globe.

If we are to reach the 2030 hepatitis B elimination goals, we must address the systemic barriers to PMTCT around the world. Caring for women means providing antenatal care, sexual and reproductive health promotion, and access to essential and lifesaving care. Providing this to mothers, their new-borns and their children is vital for ensuring that hepatitis B is adequately addressed.

Despite the progress made in the past 10 years, with a 46% decline in new HIV infections among young people (15–24 years),
the world is still behind on achieving the targets set for young people. Progress is uneven, with steep reductions in new HIV
infections among young people in some countries, in particular in eastern and southern Africa, but limited progress in reducing HIV incidence among young key populations in most countries.

Two out of every seven new HIV infections globally in 2019 were among young people (15–24 years).

Youth Power in a Pandemic. State of Youth Civil Society Report 2022

Youth Power in a Pandemic. State of Youth Civil Society Report 2022 admin Wed, 04/20/2022 - 12:52

Despite the enormous and unique challenges facing young people, this report shows that there is great strength and optimism in change being led by young people and youth civil society.

Youth civil society’s lack of confidence in formal power and rejection of traditional hierarchies has led it to rely on its own creativity and embeddedness within communities to be a powerful force for good. Without youth civil society, our communities’ recovery from the pandemic to date would have undoubtedly been held back. Youth civil society has been a lifeline for their communities: rebuilding economies, addressing mental health challenges, and pushing back against climate crisis inaction.

This report also shows that youth civil society’s efforts to help communities to rebuild are at risk. Youth civil society is severely threatened.

Positive Learning: How the education sector can meet the needs of learners living with HIV admin Wed, 12/22/2021 - 18:28

The recommendations in this briefing document build on the original Positive Learning publication developed in 2011 by UNESCO and the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+). With significant changes in both the international education sector and the global HIV response over the past decade, the Positive Learning was updated to address the current daily realities for adolescents and young people living with HIV as they navigate issues such as sexuality, relationships, gender identity and expression, treatment access and adherence.

This revised and updated version is the result of a partnership between UNESCO, GNP+ and the Global Network of Young People Living with HIV (Y+ Global).

The journey towards comprehensive sexuality education: global status report admin Thu, 11/11/2021 - 19:25

Drawing on multiple data sources, this Global Status Report provides a snapshot of how countries are advancing on their journeys towards school-based comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) across the world. CSE is central to children and young people’s well-being, equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy and responsible choices in their lives. This body of work assesses a range of factors to paint a picture of the global status of CSE, including laws and policies, coverage, curricula, delivery and enabling environment. It includes case studies and data at the regional and national levels as well as specific lessons learned.

HIV Continuum of care: Monitoring implementation of the Dublin Declaration on partnership to fight HIV/AIDS in Europe and Central Asia (2020 progress report) admin Thu, 08/19/2021 - 16:51

This progress report of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is one in a series of thematic reports based on information submitted by reporting countries in 2020 on monitoring implementation of the Dublin Declaration on Partnership to Fight HIV/AIDS.

In 2020, 40 out of 55 countries in Europe and Central Asia provided the latest available data on all four stages of the continuum of HIV care (compared to 34 countries in 2018). A total of 45 countries were able to provide data for at least two consecutive stages of the continuum of HIV care (compared to 42 in 2018).

2021 UNAIDS Global AIDS Update — Confronting inequalities — Lessons for pandemic responses from 40 years of AIDS

2021 UNAIDS Global AIDS Update — Confronting inequalities — Lessons for pandemic responses from 40 years of AIDS admin Tue, 07/20/2021 - 14:39

The UNAIDS Global AIDS Update 2021 highlights evidence that people living with HIV are more vulnerable to COVID-19, but that widening inequalities are preventing them from accessing COVID-19 vaccines and HIV services. The report shows how COVID-19 lockdowns and other restrictions have badly disrupted HIV testing—in many countries this has led to steep drops in HIV diagnoses, referrals to care services and HIV treatment initiations. Key populations and children continue to be left behind in access to HIV services.

These guidelines provide new and updated recommendations on the use of point-of-care testing in children under 18 months of age and point-of-care tests to monitor treatment in people living with HIV; the treatment monitoring algorithm; and timing of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV who are being treated for tuberculosis.
