BOOK EXCERPT:
The purpose of this research was to assess the roles played by CBOs and FBOs in prevention and controlling HIV/AIDS epidemic in Dilla town. In this research CBOs & FBOs are considered as the major community & faith based organizations that can ensure the mobilization of every section of the community in anti HIV/AIDS activities. In order to assess the roles played by the different CBOs & FBOs, interview & focus group discussion were made with the leaders of the organizations. The study set out objectives and used qualitative methods and selected 15 samples using random sampling technique. The data sources are interview of NGOs leadres, key informants of church leaders, Iddir leaders. The activities of governmental and non-governmental organizations were assessed with regard to their activities in involving in HIV/AIDS intervention activities. It was found that increased mortality rate among majority of target group resulting in increased expenditure on burial and related activities progressively depleted the financial resources of the organizations. Community based HIV/AIDS intervention that is undertaken in involving CBOs & FBOs in anti HIV/AIDS activities is in its infancy. Few efforts are being made to involve in anti HIV/AIDS activities by certain NGOs and GOs. Very few NGOs are currently working in the areas of HIV/AIDS interventions. The existing attempts are recently adopted in which very few took part. The existing activities of involved CBOs & FBOs are mainly reliant on the technical and financial assistance obtained from NGOs and GOs. The activities of NGO range from capacity building for local community based organizations like Iddirs, to provision of care and support for AIDS patients and AIDS orphans. The role of partner NGOs are considerable in taking part in HIV/AIDS interventions, as well as enhancing their role in these activities. Partner NGOs implement projects, which obviously are limited in resources, time and area. The sustainability of many of these activities is limited. The activities of GOs include formation of Iddirs council and facilitate capacity building activities for the community in anti HIV/AIDS activities. There is large amount of financial resources availed at the national level, which is meant to enhance the financial capacity of CBOs in their anti HIV/AIDS activities. However, COBOs & FBOs rarely prepared project proposals to use the funds. Limited technical capacity is the major factor that hinders the success of such attempts.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This book is a collection of papers reflecting the latest advances in geographic research on health, disease, and well-being. It spans a wide range of topics, theoretical perspectives, and methodologies - including anti-racism, post-colonialism, spatial statistics, spatiotemporal modeling, political ecology, and social network analysis. Health issues in various regions of the world are addressed by interdisciplinary authors, who include scholars from epidemiology, medicine, public health, demography, and community studies. The book covers the major themes in this field such as health inequalities; environmental health; spatial analysis and modeling of disease; health care provision, access, and utilization; health and wellbeing; and global/transnational health and health issues in the global south. There is also a specially commissioned book review in addition to the chapters included in these six sections. Together, these chapters show cogently how geographic perspectives and methods can contribute in significant ways to advancing our understanding of the complex interactions between social and physical environments and health behaviors and outcomes. This book was published as a special issue of Annals of the Association of American Geographers.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Among U. S. racial and ethnic minority populations, African American communities are the most disproportionately impacted and affected by HIV/AIDS (CDC, 2009; CDC, 2008). The chapters in this volume seek to explore factors that contribute to this disparity as well as methods for intervening and positively impacting the e- demic in the U. S. The book is divided into two sections. The first section includes chapters that explore specific contextual and structural factors related to HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention in African Americans. The second section is composed of chapters that address the latest in intervention strategies, including best-evidence and promising-evidence based behavioral interventions, program evaluation, cost effectiveness analyses and HIV testing and counseling. As background for the book, the Introduction provides a summary of the context and importance of other infectious disease rates, (i. e. , sexually transmitted diseases [STDs] and tubercu- sis), to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in African Americans and a brief introductory discussion on the major contextual factors related to the acquisition and transmission of STDs/HIV. Contextual Chapters Johnson & Dean author the first chapter in this section, which discusses the history and epidemiology of HIV/AIDS among African Americans. Specifically, this ch- ter provides a definition for and description of the US surveillance systems used to track HIV/AIDS and presents data on HIV or AIDS cases diagnosed between 2002 and 2006 and reported to CDC as of June 30, 2007.

In November 2007, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) published data showing that HIV prevalence has stabilized, even though the number of people living with HIV continues to rise. The following year, a joint UNAIDS, United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and WHO report announced that 3 million people living with HIV were accessing antiretroviral therapy, an unprecedented increase of 1 million from the previous year and a 10-fold increase from five years earlier.
