27.09.2006 There are more than hundreds of male sex workers (MSWs) operate in Lahore. Although the precise number of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Lahore is unknown, according to the Pakistan National AIDS Programme, they number around 38,000. Under the country's Islamic laws, such behaviour is strictly illegal and the result is that levels of awareness about the risk of HIV infection among male sex workers is extremely low.

26.09.2006 La compagnia farmaceutica Svizzera Novartis ha presentato un ricorso contro la legge indiana sui brevetti: la causa sarà discussa oggi presso l’alta corte di Madras. L’organizzazione medico-umanitaria internazionale Medici Senza Frontiere avverte che questo caso potrebbe avere gravi ripercussioni per la futura accessibilità di farmaci essenziali in tutto il mondo. Il ricorso della Novartis riguarda una parte cruciale della nuova legge indiana sulla protezione della proprietà intellettuale che impedisce di brevettare come nuovi farmaci i banali miglioramenti apportati su principi attivi già noti. Con questa causa Novartis sta cercando di ribaltare una decisione dell’ufficio indiano per i brevetti che nel gennaio 2006 aveva respinto la richiesta della multinazionale di brevettare il Gleevec, un farmaco impiegato nella lotta al cancro. “Se la Novartis vincerà il ricorso contro la legge indiana, perderemo una normativa indispensabile per assicurare la produzione di medicine a prezzi accessibili – afferma Msf. L’84% dei farmaci che MSF acquista per curare oltre 60mila malati di Hiv/Aids in tutto il mondo sono generici indiani.

20.09.2006 ActionAid International esprime prudente apprezzamento per il nuovo fondo UNITAID per l’acquisto di farmaci per l’AIDS, lanciato oggi in occasione dell’Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite a New York. Ma avverte che la creazione di questo nuovo strumento non deve fare perdere di vista il problema principale, che rimane quello di reperire le risorse necessarie per la lotta alla pandemia. “Esiste ancora un disastroso ammanco di 10 miliardi di dollari l’anno nei fondi per la lotta all’HIV e AIDS” - afferma Jorge Romano, Direttore Generale di ActionAid Brasile. “Ogni nuovo capitale è senz’altro utile, ma i paesi coinvolti nel lancio di UNITAID devono tenere presente che questo è il tempo dell’azione”. “L’Italia deve ancora 150 milioni di euro al Fondo – nota Iacopo Viciani – e ci auguriamo che in occasione dell’Assemblea dell’ONU il presidente del Consiglio Prodi ne annunci finalmente lo stanziamento”.

13.09.2006 As in many countries of South East Asia, trafficking of women and children takes many forms in North East Region. The International definition of trafficking recognizes a boarder spectrum of abuses, so in India there is a growing recognition that many previously accepted forms of exploitative labor, child labor, recruitment practices in sex industry, and servile marriages may in fact be forms of human trafficking and
infringements of the human rights of the individuals involved.

11.09.2006 Etelä-Afrikassa on julkaistu hi-viruksesta ja aidsista kertova sarjakuvakirja, jossa on puhekuplien sijasta viittomakielisiä kuvia. Kirjan aiheisiin kuuluvat myös seksuaalinen väkivalta ja seksuaalioikeudet. HIV/AIDS-aktiivi Judge Edwin Cameron totesi kirjan julkistamistilaisuudessa, että kuurot ovat edelleen kielellisesti, sosiaalisesti ja taloudellisesti syrjäytynyt ryhmä, eivätkä he ole saaneet riittävästi aiheeseen liittyvää tietoa.

06.09.2006 Jos uudet HIV-tartunnat eivät vähene ja lääkehoito yleisty Namibiassa, HIV-epidemia vaikuttaa dramaattisesti Namibian väestön kokoon ja rakenteeseen tulevaisuudessa. Epidemia vähentää väestönkasvua, lisää kuolleisuutta ja alentaa hedelmällisyyttä, todetaan FM Riikka Shemeikan väitöstutkimuksessa Fertility in Namibia.
