By Susan Graham


The HIV/AIDS epidemic is one of the most serious threats to human health. So global consensus has been reached on the need to fight the disease through comprehensive and integrated concerned sectors and agencies responses. The HIV organizations NYC area have has helped to raise substantial funding for HIV in lower and middle-income economies to provide access to HIV services to the people most in need despite the challenges that face them for example poverty.

Increased mortality leads to reduced skilled population and labor force. This labor force reduces the work experience and skills required in the fast-growing job market as most of the remaining population are aged. This lowers productivity. To curb this, health sectors and other agencies have educated and advised infected pregnant mothers to avoid from the first day breastfeeding the infants.

Many Health agencies organize for awareness and campaigns on the mitigation measures that should be taken to prevent infection and spread of the disease. The creation of world AIDs day has formed part of the campaign. During this day, people are educated on the measure they should undertake if they have been infected already and affected in another way. The government and other Health partners through such forums, warn people about the risks that are associated with the disease.

Most health sectors are responsible for taking care of the patients infected with the virus. This is attributed by the creation of guiding and counseling departments in the health sector. This will help offer guidance to those who are not yet infected and counseling to the infected ones. Recent research shows that most of those found with the disease have resorted to suicide cases due to depression.

Traditional practices like Male circumcision have been encouraged because it is believed that it reduces the faster spread of the virus. These organizations have supported the practice by facilitating the health workers to offer their services during the exercise at a lower value.

AIDs has widely impaired Education level and performance. The disease is eroding the supply of teachers and diluted the quality of education. This is because most of the money is diverted into medical rather than paying school fees this will force children to drop out of the school of also when teachers become ill and unable to work this renders learning paralyzed hence leading closure of schools. NYC this menace, the Education sector through the advice of health organizations has introduced HIV/AIDs as a unit or subject on their curriculum.

Security is an issue that goes beyond the presence or absence of armed conflict but it is one that affects health and social services, economies, food security amongst others. This epidemic is present in countries that are already facing the challenge of food scarcity, political conflicts, and poverty. Provision of universal health care and support funding of medical care by medical centers and other partners has been used as a remedy.

Also, the World Health Organization resolved into universal precautions in the health sectors to protect healthcare workers and their patients from blood-borne infections. These include activities like the thorough washing of hands with water and soap before and after procedures and disinfecting instruments, using protective clothing, proper handling of equipment among others while executing their roles.
