Resumen
Descripción
The HIV pandemic in the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) region continues as one of the most
devastating health crises ever. The recent regional HIV/AIDS
epidemiological synthesis report entitled characterizing the
HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Middle East and North Africa: Time
for strategic action, provides the scientific basis for the
policy recommendations detailed here and provides policy
makers with an overview of the specific character of the
HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune
deficiency syndrome) epidemic in the MENA region. The report
also sets out policy and programming recommendations that
respond to the epidemiological and demographic contours of
the HIV epidemic in the region, and the conclusions drawn
from it can potentially be used as the basis for further
research and policy development at the national level.
Policy is variously discussed in this report both as a
conceptual approach to HIV/AIDS prevention programming and
as the concrete form of the programming itself. It offers
examples of best practice, makes recommendations on where to
target resources and funding, and outlines the most
effective strategies in HIV/AIDS prevention. All the
information presented in this policy report is based on the
comprehensive research, findings, and recommendations
recorded in the synthesis report.
