HIV and Young People
by Gary JonesRevisiting the thinking on vulnerability to HIV and risk of infection, this book provides better understanding by considering the risk of HIV infection alongside notions of personal and collective resilience, dignity and humiliation. The work shows that young people in the urban slum dignify their world and, in doing so, establish priorities and draw on a set of references oftentimes intelligible to them alone. Moreover, humiliation, as an interpersonal event, adds to a sense of vulnerability and lies closely behind choices directly affecting personal health and livelihood. Thus, dignity and humiliation are shown for the first time to have a critical role in health seeking and risky behavior related to HIV, and this is an area in great need of further research. The crucial focus of this work is further emphasized by the rapid growth of urban slums, and high rates of HIV among both slum dwellers and young people, who continue to bear the brunt of the AIDS epidemic, thirty years on. This comprehensive literature review provides a compelling argument that the time is right to further explore the nexus of risk and resilience from a people-centered perspective. Fresh insight is critical to reach the goal of ending AIDS by 2030.
HIV in the UK: Voices from the Epidemic
by Jose Catalan Damien Ridge Barbara HedgeThis book explores the thoroughly human dimension of the health care and prevention responses to the HIV crisis in the UK, and the impact that such initiatives had on the progression of the epidemic. This book presents a compelling account of the unfolding of the epidemic and the initiatives that made all the difference in the care and prevention of HIV in the UK from the early 1980s to the present time. Drawing on interviews with people with HIV, doctors and nurses involved in their care, leaders of AIDS charities, activists, and politicians, it identifies and describes the models of care developed in response to the onset of the HIV epidemic, and its impact on NHS and voluntary organizations. It goes on to explore the political responses, the evolution of HIV stigma, and the personal impact of the early high mortality rates. Finally, it discusses recent organizational changes in the provision of care and prevention services. In doing so, this volume identifies the lessons learnt from the care and prevention of HIV, both in relation to HIV infection and other conditions, such COVID-19, and discuss future challenges. This book will be of great value to those working in services dealing with HIV, charities, and CCGs and GP organizations, as well as social historians and medical sociologists.

Some estimates place the number of infants born after prenatal exposure to illicit drugs as three-quarters of a million-every year. When alcohol is added, the figure rises to more than 1 million. This powerful book focuses specifically on the serious consequences of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and crack cocaine abuse, including poor language development and speech delays, limited vocabulary, the inability to make their needs known, poor articulation, the inability to follow commands, limited expressive language skills, and the inability to understand the real meaning of words and generalize them. And of the nearly 5,000 children in the United States living with AIDS, almost all will struggle with speech production and communication disorders as the disease affects their brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system. HIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children examines: the effect of drugs on the brain pregnancy and drug use trends common drugs of abuse Kosakoff&’s syndrome fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) among Native Americans and African Americans neurologic sequellae speech and language intervention rehabilitation considerations treatment and family counseling and much moreHIV, Substance Abuse and Communication Disorders in Children is essential for graduate and undergraduate students working with language disorders in special populations.
HIV/AIDS Community Information Services: Experiences in Serving Both At-Risk and HIV-Infected Populations
by M Sandra Wood Jeffrey T HuberInformation forms the basis for education, and currently education is the only weapon available to stem the spread of HIV/AIDS and to foster empathy toward individuals already affected by the disease. HIV/AIDS and Community Information Services provides readers with insight into the information construct within the AIDS arena and how that construct affects the provision of information services to the HIV/AIDS affected population. It will serve as an irreplaceable reference as the number of individuals with AIDS increases, creating a greater demand for information and making that information increasingly difficult to provide.While directories exist to assist with practical approaches to accessing HIV/AIDS-related information, none had served as a comprehensive resource concerning the nature of that information or the provision of information services. HIV/AIDS Community Information Services fills that void. It fosters the enlightenment of the general public concerning the true nature of HIV/AIDS, guides readers in providing information services--both educational and recreational--to individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, and encourages the dissemination of instructional materials to those individuals at risk for infection. In doing so, contributors provide readers with information about: the relationship between AIDS and the body of information concerning the disease the complex nature of HIV/AIDS-related information available HIV/AIDS information services information as a means for empowerment suggestions for future programs, potential collaboration efforts, and innovative servicesAn essential guide for information professionals, librarians, health educators, counselors, members of community-based AIDS service organizations, and individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, HIV/AIDS Community Information Services foster the creation, accession, collection, organization, dissemination, and sharing of information concerning the HIV/AIDS epidemic and promotes the provision of services to individuals already affected by HIV/AIDS.

HIV/AIDS and the Social Consequences of Untamed Biomedicine: Anthropological Complicities (Routledge Studies in Anthropology #18)
by Graham FordhamDrawing on the case of HIV/AIDS in Thailand, this book examines how anthropological and other interpretative social science research has been utilized in modeling the AIDS epidemic, and in the design and implementation of interventions. It argues that much social science research has been complicit with the forces that generated the epidemic and with the social control agendas of the state, and that as such it has increased the weight of structural violence bearing upon the afflicted. The book also questions claims of Thai AIDS control success, arguing that these can only be made at the cost of excluding categories such as intravenous drug users, the incarcerated, and homosexuals, who continue to experience extraordinarily high levels of levels of HIV infection. Considered deviant and undeserving, these persons have deliberately been excluded from harm reduction programs. Overall, this work argues for the untapped potential of anthropological research in the health field, a confident anthropology rooted in ethnography and a critical reflexivity. Crucially, it argues that in context of interdisciplinary collaborations, anthropological research must refuse relegation to the status of an adjunct discipline, and must be free epistemologically and methodologically from the universalizing assumptions and practices of biomedicine.
HIV/AIDS in China - The Economic and Social Determinants: The Economic And Social Determinants (Routledge Contemporary China Series)
by Jennifer Y.J. Hsu Dylan SutherlandSouth and East Asia may well become the epicentres of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. More than three-quarters of a million people are now estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS in China. In 2009, AIDS had already become the leading cause of death by infectious disease. Yet, even despite China’s recent economic and social progress, a number of development issues - not least the emergence of glaring inequalities - have also emerged. The expansion of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is also an important longer term development challenge. This book analyses China’s HIV/AIDS epidemic, with particular attention to the nature and impact of current economic and social changes and how these changes may be driving the epidemic. It examines aspects of income and gender inequality; rural-urban migration; commercial sex work; healthcare and civil society organizations. Health care reforms and the role of NGOs are also considered as well as general government policy. Overall, this book provides a full discussion of the most critical aspects of the current HIV/AIDS situation in China and its impact on Chinese society.

HIV/AIDS: A Very Short Introduction
by Alan WhitesideHIV/AIDS is without doubt the worst epidemic to hit human kind since the Black Death. The first case was identified in 1981; by 2004 it was estimated that about 40 million people were living with the disease, and about 20 million had died. Despite rapid scientific advances there is still no cure and the drugs are expensive and toxic. Because of controversies and taboos surrounding safe drug usage and prostitution, the numbers of people infected continues to rise. However, it is in the developing world and especially parts of Africa that the real catastrophe is unfolding. In some of the worst affected countries life expectancy has plummeted to below 35 years, which has led to a serious decline in economic growth, a sharp rise in orphaning, and the imminent collapse of health care systems. The news is not all bleak though. There have been unprecedented breakthroughs in understanding diseases and developing drugs. Because the disease is so closely linked to sexual activity and drug use, the need to understand and change behaviour has caused us to reassess what it means to be human and how we should operate in the globalising world. This Very Short Introduction provides an introduction to the disease, the science, the international and local politics, the fascinating demographics, and the devastating consequences of the disease, and explores how we have responded and how we must respond in the future.

HOMBROS DE TANQUE DE BATALLA: Construya el TANQUE ABRAMS TANK como hombros con los ejercicios y rutinas de este libro
by Rahul MookerjeeEstimado lector, La VERDADERA piedra angular de la fuerza de la parte superior del cuerpo de un hombre (o una mujer, para el caso) proviene de los HOMBROS. Hay una razón por la que tenemos el dicho "hombre de hombros anchos" en inglés y otros idiomas. Hay una razón por la que los hombros anchos, fuertes, densos y gigantescos no solo se ven poderosos, sino que SON poderosos, ¡e inspiran ASOMBRO a los ojos de los espectadores! ¿Y la razón? Bueno, simple... los HOMBROS son los que conectan toda la parte superior de tu cuerpo. En el pasado, los hombres, o debería decir HOMBRES DE VERDAD (pista: el hombre de hoy en día NO es lo que yo consideraría un hombre de verdad o en cualquier lugar cercano) ciertamente no pasó horas parloteando en la "estación de banco" más cercana o acicalándose y posando después de las "últimas relaciones públicas" con los hermanos. Hace mucho tiempo, cuando los HOMBRES eran REALMENTE fuertes, NO pasaban horas y horas tirando desesperadamente de uno de los inventos modernos más inútiles que existen; esa es la máquina de polea lateral: una invitación abierta a las lesiones, si alguna vez hubo una. Hace mucho tiempo, los HOMBRES DE VERDAD no se molestaban en tener seis paquetes, o secciones medias muy delgadas para "atrapar a las chicas" o "alardear en el spa". "(Oohh chico, ¿qué varonil, eh?) Se preocuparon por lo que era importante: desarrollar fuerza real, CARÁCTER real, ¡y hacerlo con energía, vigor y los ejercicios CORRECTOS! Combina eso con el desorden moderno de un hombre.
HOPE - Healing Our People & Earth: What You Can Do To Make A Difference...
by Jude CurrivanAs a cosmologist and healer, Dr Jude Currivan has journeyed to nearly seventy countries around the world and has explored and studied numerous important sacred sites and places of conflict. HOPE shares her understanding and experiences of the energetic connections between people and places from a spiritual perspective which is informed and expanded by leading edge science.HOPE investigates too how different groups and countries reflect and embody the same themes and issues that we experience on an individual human level. It reveals how the history of different areas of conflict around the world and our collective fear-based behaviours are based on traumas that we have energetically continued to resonate with - and crucially how to heal and release them. HOPE also shows the cosmic connection between astrological influences and the 'bigger picture' of what is unfolding, and explores why 2012 is so synchronistically destined to offer us the breakthrough of a shift of collective consciousness – if, as the Mayans say, we choose to do so!
HRT Solution (rev. edition): Optimizing Your Hormonal Potential
by Marla Ahlgrimm John M KellsNow revised and updated, the comprehensive program for restoring vitality, sexuality, and health using natural hormones-just the ones each individual woman needs, and just the amount she needs. The decision of whether or not to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during menopause is perhaps more controversial-and more confusing-than ever before. The HRT Solution provides a balanced discussion of the issues and, most important, offers a choice that goes beyond "yes" or "no." The authors explain the shortcomings of the conventional, "cookie-cutter" approach to HRT, which gives women standard-ized amounts of synthetic hormone substitutes or animal-derived hormone products. Instead, they recommend a program designed to meet each woman's particular needs. Their approach emphasizes the importance of testing and ongoing monitoring to determine precisely which hormones a woman may want to supplement. The solution lies in the prescription of individualized doses of custom-made natural hormones-exact matches for the ones a woman's body produces. The HRT Solution makes it possible for each woman to maintain a hormonal balance that is optimal for her body and her well-being, without the unpleasant side effects and potential for long-term health problems associated with conventional HRT. "The authors introduce a revolutionary new approach to hor- mone management that combines simple but precise testing to monitor hormone levels with personalized doses of natural hormones."

HWPO: Hard Work Pays Off
by Mat Fraser Spenser MestelTransform your body and mind with the definitive guide to building peak strength, endurance, and speed, from the five-time CrossFit Games champion and Fittest Man on EarthNo matter your level of fitness, no matter if you&’ve never attempted CrossFit before, this book is your total training manual. Mat Fraser is undisputedly the fittest man in CrossFit history for winning the CrossFit Games an unprecedented five times. A student of engineering, Fraser optimized his body like a machine, and his absolute dedication to the training program he designed for himself is now legendary. For years, every single decision he made was weighed against the question: "Will this help me win?" If the answer was no, he didn't do it. If it would give him even the slightest edge or advantage, he would—no matter the cost. Fraser became a master of identifying his weaknesses and then seeking out training methods to improve them, and he's idolized in the fitness community for his relentless pursuit of peak performance. It's not hard to see why he achieved so much success—but how is a different question. Throughout his career, Fraser has been highly guarded about his specific training techniques (after all, sharing them would not help him win the CrossFit Games). But with his recent retirement from competition, Fraser is finally ready to open up about his path to the podium. HWPO reveals the workouts, training hacks, eating plans, and mental strategies that have helped make him a champion. It's an incredible resource of elite training strategies, illustrated workouts, and motivational stories, and it's a glimpse into the mind of one of the world's greatest athletes.

Habitudes For The Journey: The Art of Navigating Transitions
by Tim ElmoreYou've probably already figured out that life is full of transitions---from middle school to high school; from high school to college or a job; from college to career. Each transition is an opportunity to establish great habits, make great choices and meet great people ... or an opportunity to absolutely fail at this. Some students aren't able to navigate the changes in their life and they get off track. Eventually they find themselves at a destination they don't like because they didn't make the right moves at the crucial times. This discussion guide was designed to prevent that. In fact, our goal is to help you get to where you want to go. At some point in the journey---you will face junctions, and must transition to a new place.
Hacer dieta como un gurú
by Dr Rosie KuhnCierto, los gurús no hacen dieta. Ellos no usan sustancias que cubran o adormezcan sus sufrimientos emocionales ni temores. Se fortalecen al observar sus emociones, pensamientos y sensaciones corporales de manera más profunda. Con sus mentes, descubren viejos esquemas de pensamientos y creencias que ya no tienen sentido, salvo dentro de la desconocida bóveda de las heridas. Nosotros no somos diferentes a cualquier otro gurú que yo conozca. Tienes las mismas habilidades para elegir según tus propias creencias y valores. Y todos los gurús empezaron igual que tú – dudosos, temerosos y renuentes al cambio. Ellos, como tú, decidieron que había algo más importante que adormecer, evitar, y distraer sus mentes de sus reales esencias y de las vidas que les fueron entregadas. Ellos, como tú, caminaron un paso a la vez, poniendo atención en lo que los llevó a tomar caminos de fracaso tantas veces. Vas a encontrar, al igual que esos gurús, que todos los momentos revelan tu más profunda valentía, convicción, fuerza y amor; ellos solo tuvieron que verlo y no huir de eso. Yo, como tú, como todos los gurús que conozco, puedo, y podré, elegir inevitablemente el amor. Sólo falta saber el “cuándo”.
