- W2993765610 abstract "In sub-Saharan Africa, where the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic threatens to undermine the social and economic structure of society, there has been insufficient attention to health care demand, supply, and quality issues. Most of those currently infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) will register their demand for increased health services within the next six years. A study of medical insurance claims in Zimbabwe indicated that the claims of HIV-infected persons in the last 7-15 months of their lives were 700% higher than the average claim for the same age group. Absenteeism by HIV-infected health care workers is affecting the quality of care in hospitals, and countries that provide sickness benefits for public sector workers face the double drain of financing these benefits and paying for replacement staff. Emerging evidence suggests that HIV screening and counseling is not an effective intervention in this culture. Pregnant Kenyan women screened for HIV tended not to want the results, failed to inform their partner of a positive result, or were subjected to violence and abandonment when they did inform their husbands. Most effective, in this region, have been programs aimed at improving the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. Other recommendations include decentralization of care to district health systems where costs are lower, increased support for home-based care, AIDS education for traditional healers, and informational campaigns to counter discrimination against HIV-infected community members." @default.
