...Research Proposal on HIV Posted at: February 9, 2010 under: Sample Research Proposals by admin @ 7:04 am Problem Twenty years ago, the subject of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), which has been found to be the cause of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), would not have been the topic of a major and serious worldwide catastrophe. Twenty years ago, people were not phased by the effects that would be caused by this ever so populating disease, and no one would have ever realized that this disease would not be curable or helped without expensive medicine. Like a simple exponential growth equation, the AIDS virus has increased victim numbers by about forty million all over the world. AIDS has also shown that it is not discriminating; it has infected all races and all heritages. The AIDS crisis extends far beyond its death toll, because more than seventy percent of the thirty-six million people with HIV/AIDS live in sub-Saharan Africa. Last year alone, the disease killed 1.5 million people in Africa. One third of these victims are between the ages of ten and twenty-four. The disease has been described as a development crisis; it is profoundly disrupting the economic and social bases of families and entire nations at a rate of infection at 16,000 per day. Without immediate action, AIDS will surpass the effect of the Black Plague that killed forty million people in the late fourteenth century. It is estimated that only ten percent of the death that this disease...

...THE POLICY PROCESS 1 The Policy Process HCS/455 December 2, 2011 The Policy Process 2 The Health care industry has many policies, rules and regulations that have to be followed in order to have a successful company in today’s world. The Health care industry has many policies that keep companies in compliance with all the rules and regulations in order to protect the consumers, patients and employees. In every hospital, doctor’s offices, therapy clinics, etc, there will always be certain protocol of running a successful and thriving business. A certain point in time where these policies were made, there was a process to developing a policy for a particular business. All companies, corporation, or business will have policies set in place. This holds true for the foundation for AIDS/HIV. While putting together certain regulation for research groups, this foundation also has to follow each step in the policy process. Coming up with that policy was a process and throughout this paper we will discuss the policy process and what it takes to ensure the write policy has been made to protect the company, consumers and all of its employees. The policy process has certain steps that have to be taken before having a successful outcome. These important steps are as follows: The formulation stage, the legislative stage and the implementation stage. Throughout this paper we will discuss...

...TAC The problem: HIV/AIDS is an epidemic in South Africa but so far government initiatives for prevention have not yet been effective Paper being submitted to: the Department of Health and the Department of Education HIV/AIDS is huge problem in our society in today’s world and so far government initiatives are not effective in reducing the number of new HIV infections. Millions of people die from this disease on a yearly basis. The HIV virus is transmitted by the exchange of bodily fluids from one person to another. This may be through sexual intercourse, the sharing of needles and through labour. One the virus is contracted; it weakens the body’s immune system, making the individual susceptible to various infectious diseases and results in the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Although many programs in South Africa are put in place that aim at combating this disease, so far they have not been successful in decreasing the number of people dying from this disease, instead the numbers seem to be increasing each year. It is because of the above mentioned problem that I, along with the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) have put together a proposal that will provide an alternative solution to this epidemic The proposal mostly focuses on prevention. Firstly; schools, starting from primary right up to high schools, as well as tertiary institutions, will provide compulsory courses which educate learners about HIV prevention. Secondly;...

...No End in sight: Breaking the vicious cycle of hiv/aids in Tanzania Abstract Tanzania is a country of close to 40 million people, out of which 3 million are living with HIV/AIDS. This disease has been declared an epidemic by the WHO standards, and Tanzania is described as a country “experiencing a mature, generalized HIV epidemic, which is still growing” (WHO Report, 2008). The combination of a high infection rate and a lack of available resources to address HIV/AIDS make it more than difficult to bring the levels of this disease down. Tanzania has a national office dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS, and it receives close to $400 million dollars a year in funds directed at combatting the various issues associated with the epidemic (Global Fund, 2011). However, there is no indication that this large sum has been used to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This money has been lost somewhere in the trickle down from foreign funding agencies and has most likely landed in the pockets of corrupt officials. The policy that the Tanzanian Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS, 2011) and the Prime Minister’s office has released attempts to accomplish too much in one go, making the overall effect of the policy somewhat flat. There needs to be a campaign that shocks the country out of its current state of stagnation. By using a social campaign that employs education in all facets of life, at school, on the radio, and in the community, HIV/AIDS awareness can become an apparent part of everyday life...

...Dear Teresa Benitez- Thompson, Hello my name is Kimberly Martinez; I live in Elmhurst IL and attend York Community High School as a sophomore. This letter is part of my American Government class here at York. The assignment I was given was to write a letter to a public official about an issue that we cared about to change, or start, an impact on that policy. The goal of this project is to allow us to learn how to make an impact in our government and to learn how to get involved in policy making. For this project, I decided to use the topic of prostitution, knowing that it is legal in certain brothels in Nevada. After I researched more about this issue, and the impact it has on those involved. I came to a conclusion that legal prostitution...

...Research Proposal, Part I Rodriquez Richmond Don Fairbee Courtney Westmoreland CJA/334 - RESEARCH METHODS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE JOHN FERRANTE May 2, 2013 Introduction Correctional inmates engage in drug-related and sexual risk behaviors, and the transmission of HIV, hepatitis, and sexually transmitted diseases occurs in correctional facilities. However, there is uncertainty about the extent of transmission, and hyperbolic descriptions of its extent may further stigmatize inmates and elicit punitive responses. Whether infection was acquired within or outside correctional facilities, the prevalence of HIV and other infectious diseases is much higher among inmates than among those in the general community, and the burden of disease among inmates and releases is disproportionately heavy. A comprehensive response is needed, including voluntary counseling and testing on request that is linked to high-quality treatment, disease prevention education, substance abuse treatment, and discharge planning and transitional programs for releases. General area being studied Sexual activity among inmates is a complex phenomenon that occurs along a continuum, from the entirely consensual to the violently coerced. The New York Times detailed a gang-run system of sexual slavery in a Texas prison, where at least 1 gay inmate claimed he was bought and sold numerous...

...willful transmission of HIV be treated as attempted murder? The diagnosis of HIV is one of the most disturbing findings there is. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. This virus is passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood and sexual contact (Cichocki, 2012). Sex is the most common way of passing on this disease. With the rapid increase of HIV positive people throughout the country, researchers are looking further into why it is becoming such a prevalent disease. There have been cases brought into court of diagnosed people spreading this dreadful disease to their sex partners on purpose. The judicial system is trying to pass this as an attempted murder charge. Attempted murder is when a person is purposely engaged in conduct, which is intended to cause the death of the victim (Attempted, 92). When a person diagnosed with HIV progresses to AIDS they are basically given a death sentence because this disease has no cure. Unfortunately there are people in this world who have unprotected sex with the specific purpose of spreading this awful disease. The victims are exactly that, victims, they don’t know that the person they just slept with infected them with a death sentence. The judicial system should pass a law against the willful transmission of HIV because the person contracting the disease is totally unaware of the potential danger to which they have been exposed. The harsh, life changing effects of HIV and AIDS are well known...

...Prostitution should be legalised to protect the workers from violence and STDs such as HIV To the Home Secretary, I am writing to express the distress I feel about the current laws of prostitution and how legalising it would protect against STDs and violence. I have three main reasons as to why prostitution must be legalised. To begin your current laws banning prostitution are ineffective. Secondly legalising prostitution would be much safer for the prostitutes and thirdly legalisation can be part of a wider education in context to prostitution, which I will explain further later on. Before I consider the three reasons I want to heighten your awareness of the current abuse statistics and the current HIV statistics. a detailed study carried out in 2004 concluded that prostitutes do indeed have an increased chance of contracting STDs such a syphilis, hepatitis B and HIV. Over all 30,000 women a year worldwide die of HIV contracted through prostitution. These shocking figures surely warrant some consideration towards legalising prostitution. So why is prohibition ineffective? It may shock you to hear that the UK has increasing rates of prostitution and could be set to overtake the USA. Due to high unemployment these women (in a low paid, low skilled job) would earn around £5.93 an hour. The women who prostitute may not have any other source of income and desperately need the money for their families. We need to become comfortable with the fact that (worldwide) people...
