Another of the reports findings pointed to the positive impact of integrating prevention and treatment programmes with other health and social welfare services.
AIDS isolation must end, said Mr. Sidibé. Half of all maternal deaths in Botswana and South Africa are due to HIV. This tells us that we must work for a unified health approach bringing maternal and child health and HIV programmes as well as tuberculosis programmes together to work to achieve their common goal.
The report also warns that prevention programmes must keep pace with changes in the epidemic. For example, it said that programmes should take into account shifts in the spread of the disease in parts of Asia where the epidemic once characterized by transmission through sex work and injecting drug use is now increasingly affecting heterosexual couples.
