تم تقديم هذا الحدث الجانبي للجنة المخدرات رقم 65 في الأصل في 14 مارس 2022. وشارك في رعايته، الذي نظمه المعهد الوطني لحقوق الإنسان، منظمة أطباء العالم، وبرنامج الأمم المتحدة المشترك المعني بفيروس نقص المناعة البشرية/الإيدز، وقسم الأيدز وفيروسه التابع لمكتب الأمم المتحدة المعني بالمخدرات والجريمة، وهولندا، وأستراليا.

في عام 2021، وبفضل أعمال الدعوة الكبيرة التي قام بها الأشخاص الذين يتعاطون المخدرات والشبكات السكانية الرئيسية الأخرى، ألزمت كل من الاستراتيجية العالمية للإيدز 2022-2026 والإعلان السياسي لعام 2021 بشأن فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية والإيدز الدول الأعضاء بتحقيق أهداف جديدة جريئة بشأن...

The 2021-2026 Global AIDS Strategy has bold and critical new targets on realizing human rights, reducing stigma, discrimination and violence and removing harmful punitive laws as a pathway to ending inequalities and ultimately ending AIDS.

To aid in the scale-up of interventions to remove these societal barriers, UNAIDS has produced a series of fact sheets on human rights in various areas, highlighting the critical need to scale up action on rights. 

This factsheet provides an overview of the latest data, shares information on human rights, and describes the global targets and standards.

Sharing drug injecting equipment increases the risk of transmitting and acquiring blood-borne infections, such as HIV and hepatitis B and C. While hepatitis C is the most prevalent blood-borne viral infection among people who inject drugs (PWID), injecting drug use remains an important mode of HIV transmission in some EU countries, and local outbreaks continue to occur. Despite falling HIV transmission rates in recent years, more than 1 in 10 new AIDS cases in the EU are still attributed to injecting drug use. This may signal late diagnosis or poor case management, both of which are avoidable...

لا يزال ارتفاع معدل انتشار فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية واضطرابات تعاطي المخدرات (SUD) في أوكرانيا يمثل مشكلة صحية عامة كبيرة. هناك حاجة إلى قوة عاملة وطنية مدربة تدريبا جيدا وموجهة نحو التعافي لتعزيز علاج SUD المرتبط برعاية فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية للحد من تعاطي المخدرات والعبء المرتبط بفيروس نقص المناعة البشرية في البلاد.

تأسس مركز تكنولوجيا نقل الإدمان الأوكراني (Ukraine ATTC) في عام 2017 لتوفير التدريب والمساعدة الفنية حول تقاطع فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية و SUD لدعم الجهود المبذولة للسيطرة على وباء فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية في أوكرانيا. تم الحصول على البيانات من مبادرات ATTC...

This article explores the lessons learned during the implementation of a peer-facilitated hepatitis C virus hepatitis C testing and treatment access project called the Live Hep C Free project in contributing to micro-elimination efforts.

The Live Hep C Free project aims to facilitate access to on-the-spot hepatitis C virus testing, treatment, and care in priority settings through a partnership between a peer worker and a clinical nurse. Since the start of the project in January 2018, 4515 people were engaged about hepatitis C virus and encouraged to access on-site hepatitis C virus health...

Early detection of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome allows infected people to use prophylaxis against opportunistic infections and beginning immediate treatment for secondary complications. People who receive treatment benefit from increased social support and, more crucially, change their behaviour to prevent the virus from spreading to others. One of the most major methods of HIV transmission is through medication injections, and this group is responsible for the spread of HIV since they are ignorant of their illness. The coexistence of HIV and other opportunistic infections and illnesses...

There is a scarcity of research on drug use patterns among HIV-positive young individuals in Sub-Saharan Africa (YLWH). To fill the gap, the following was set out:

1. compare the prevalence of substance use, specifically alcohol and illicit drug use, among YLWH to their HIV-uninfected peers;
2. look into the independent relationship between HIV infection status and substance use among these young people;
3. look into the risk indicators for substance use among these young people.

Between November 2018 and September 2019, a cross-sectional study was conducted at the Kenyan coast recruiting 819...

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) was classified a pandemic on March 11, 2020, with early reports of the disease occurring in the Middle East and North African (MENA) area. On January 2021, the World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office (WHO-EMRO) reported 5,566,708 confirmed cases with 131,886 fatalities to date. Since 2016, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) area has seen a modest but steady growth in the harm reduction response.

Little is known about the region's health response and the situation of drug users (PWUD) during the outbreak. During COVID-19, the MENA Harm...
