The purpose of this Guidance Note is to facilitate equal, effective and synergistic partnerships between development organisations/practitioners and PLHIV networks. Ethically, it is grounded in the same human-rights principles as those of GIPA: empowerment, non-discrimination, ownership and active, meaningful participation. Functionally, its aim is to improve future interventions by groups working with PLHIV networks in other contexts. It is a practical guide, based on a wealth of experience and learning drawn from PLHIV networks and their supporting partners in several countries across the Asia-Pacific region.The purpose of this Guidance Note is to facilitate equal, effective and synergistic partnerships between development organisations/practitioners and PLHIV networks.

At the HIV and AIDS regional meet of ActionAid International in August 2005, participants set out the mandate for the organisation's second report on HIV and AIDS. Its primary thrust was that AIDS is a political issue. The statement emerging from the meet further outlined its wider linkages – as an issue of people's rights, of human and economic development, dignity and well-being. It advocated intensifying the HIV and AIDS control efforts by addressing the political will of all concerned, with the objective of creating conditions that decrease vulnerability to HIV as well as ensuring access to means of prevention and treatment.

HIV/AIDS is a significant public health problem in all three countries. In Cambodia HIV prevalence rates have fallen from 2.6% to 1.9% among adults aged 15-49 1 , but remain among the highest in the region – with some 123,000 people living with HIV. In Vietnam, while national prevalence is still low, HIV has been reported in all provinces and is relatively high, over 10%, among sex workers and injecting drug users – two key high risk groups. In Laos prevalence is still very low, and is largely confined to the two larger cities (Vientiane and Savannakhet) – yet STD rates among service women are very high in a number of provinces, and Laos’ relatively porous borders with Thailand and Cambodia suggest significant vulnerability2. In the case of Cambodia and Vietnam, HIV has spread sufficiently that both countries need strong, grass-roots prevention programmes to ensure it does not spread more widely, and will face significant burdens of care as those already infected progress towards AIDS. In Laos, there is an opportunity to contain the spread of HIV. Download this publication |
