APHA Scientific Session and Event Listing |

| This session will present contrasting perspectives on access to counseling, testing and treatment for HIV/AIDS. When resources are severely limited, is their a correct approach? What are the choices? For countries that must depend on donor funds, particularly for the purchase of Antiretrovirals (ARVs), is it most reasonable to assume that scaling-up, in and of itself, will attract the funds needed to sustain and further expand scale-up? Or , should countries assume donor largesse is limited and national needs are unlikely to be met by foreign resources? In the latter case what are the rationales for different choices? Are there clear rights and wrongs? This session will highlight the experiences of providers, policy analysts, policy advisers and advocates who will draw on their recent experiences from Lesotho, South Africa, Russia, the US and other countries with a view to illuminating policy and human rights dilemmas that, to varying degrees, affect many countries. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to discuss, analyze and articulate human rights conflicts facing countries of varying income levels with either a high or rising HIV prevalence. Participants will gain an understanding of the challenges that arise when funds available to support counseling, testing and particularly treatment with Antiretrovirals (ARVs) fall short of national need. Participants will appreciate, be able to articulate and discuss the dilemmas of rationing, priority setting and choices from the varying perspectives of advocacy groups, planners, providers and policy analysts. | |||
