- Policy Brief : HIV and Refugees
- The Policy Brief recommends actions that governments and their international and civil society partners must take to respond to HIV in the context of refugees. The policy also offers best practice examples and first-person accounts from policy makers who have taken exemplary actions in this area. It builds on the commitments made by States as part of the 2006 High Level Meeting on AIDS, the International Human Rights Law and the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, wherein States parties committed to providing refugees with the same “public relief and assistance” as their nationals, including medical care.
- HIV and infant feeding : a policy statement developed collaboratively by UNAIDS, UNICEF and WHO
- The number of infants born with HIV infection increases every day. The vast majority of these children are infected through their mothers. Given the vital importance of breastfeeding to a child’s health, and the risk of HIV transmission through breastfeeding, the development of policies on HIV infection and infant feeding is crucial. This document provides policy-makers with key elements for the creation of the aforementioned policies, such as promoting and supporting breastfeeding, improving access to HIV counselling and testing, and preventing commercial pressures for artificial feeding. It also highlights the prevention of HIV infection in women through the promotion of safer sex and the adequate treatment of sexually transmitted infections
