These calculations are based on the previously published estimates for 1999 and 2001 and recent trends in HIV/AIDS surveillance in HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance various populations. A methodology developed in collaboration with an international group of Global Surveillance of HIV/AIDS and sexually experts was used to calculate the new estimates on prevalence and incidence of HIV and AIDS deaths, as well transmitted infections (STIs) is a joint effort of as the number of children infected through mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Different approaches were WHO and UNAIDS. The UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on used to estimate HIV prevalence in countries with low-level, concentrated or generalised epidemics. The Global HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance, initiated in November current estimates do not claim to be an exact count of infections. Rather, they use a methodology that has thus 1996, guides respective activities. The primary objective of the far proved accurate in producing estimates that give a good indication of the magnitude of the epidemic in Working Group is to strengthen national, regional and global individual countries. However, these estimates are constantly being revised as countries improve their structures and networks for improved monitoring and surveillance systems and collect more information. surveillance of HIV/AIDS and STIs.

  • Health Status of Stateless Children in Tak Province, Thailand
    1 Health Status of Stateless Children in 2 Tak Province, Thailand 3 4 Word count: Abstract (293), Main text (4,338), References (43) 5 Running head: Health Status of Stateless Children 6 Keywords: Health status; Pneumonia; Stateless insurance scheme; Stateless children; 7 Electronic medical records; Tak Province; Thailand 8 9 10 1 11 ABSTRACT 12 13 Purpose 14 Statelessness is the worst possible form of violation of fundamental human rights which can 15 lead to serious adverse health outcome in children. The purpose of this study is to assess the 16 association between insurance affiliations and health status of stateless children in terms of 17 incidence of pneumonia compared to Thai children with the universal coverage scheme 18 (UCS), and the uninsured children. 19 Design/methodology/approach 20 The study used medical records of children aged 0-15 years who were admitted to four 21 selected district hospitals in Tak Province from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017. 22 Multivariate logistic regression was applied with binary outcome data (pneumonia: yes/no). 23 Exposure was three types of insurance while covariates were the age, sex, and domicile of the 24 children. 25 Findings 26 Of 8,167 hospitalized children between 2013 and 2017, 1,668 were identified who were 27 diagnosed with pneumonia. The risk of pneumonia was 1.7% higher in the stateless children 28 than in the uninsured children (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=1.017, 95% confidence interval 29 [CI]=[0.527,2.080];p= 0.960). The risk of pneumonia was 13.2% higher in the UCS children 30 than in the uninsured children (AOR=1.132,95% CI=[0.613,2.233];p =0.706).
