Implementation of the strategy commenced on 1 July 2005, focusing on three key action areas sexually transmitted diseases in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities sexually transmitted diseases in homosexually active men and chlamydia control and prevention.

Increased capacity in the health and community workforce to address all aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander HIV AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases and blood borne viruses.

To increase youth's access to information and understanding about their sexual and reproductive health, including safer sexual practices to reduce STI HIV infections and transmissions.

Aware that, in many communities, both drug abuse and HIV AIDS are highly stigmatized and the persons affected are consequently denied access to help and support,

Sexually transmissible infections

Recognizing that access to education for young people, especially girls, dramatically lowers their vulnerability to HIV infection,

Very few women have access to contraception such as condoms, and they find it hard to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases, particularly HIV AIDS.

Or, even better, let's just take people right out of the emergency room undefined, community acquired respiratory tract infections.

Female physiology, along with women's inability to access health care and treatment, make women more susceptible to reinfection than men.

STI' Sexually Transmitted Infections

Hardly any children in poor countries have access to cotrimoxazole prophylaxis to prevent commonly acquired infections.

Other sexually transmissible infections

Furthermore, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which increase the likelihood of contracting HIV, are more often undetected and therefore untreated in women.

Therefore FAWENA has embarked upon a campaign to increase girls' access to information about reproductive health and safer sexual practices in an attempt to reduce HIV AIDS infections, unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.

13. Calls upon States to ensure that those at risk of contracting malaria, in particular pregnant women and children under 5 years of age, benefit from the most suitable combination of personal and community protective measures, such as insecticide treated bed nets and other interventions that are accessible and affordable, in order to prevent infection and suffering

(b) At least 60 per cent of all pregnant women who are at risk for malaria, especially those in their first pregnancy, have access to chemoprophylaxis or presumptive intermittent treatment

This is the only transmission category in which women outnumber men.

(a) Infectious respiratory diseases such as acute respiratory infections and tuberculosis

We see higher rates in younger women than younger men in many of these highly affected countries.

The ratio of men to women as of 2002 was 3 to 1, and the highest rates were among men between the ages of 20 and 34.

Emphasizing that the majority of HIV infections are sexually transmitted and that the infection is also associated with exposure to infected blood and mother to child transmission, that HIV and sexual and reproductive ill health have mostly common root causes, and that HIV transmission is influenced by a number of social factors including inequality, poverty, gender inequality and marginalization of those individuals at high vulnerability and or risk,

Rates of chlamydia infection are generally higher in females than males.

Women and girls make up almost 57 of all people infected with HIV in sub Saharan Africa, where a striking 76 of young people (aged 15 24 years) living with HIV are female.

to enhance these communities' access to land.

This is crucial for facilitating children's access to antiretroviral therapy and treatment of opportunistic infections.

In most communities women living with HIV who decide to have children are criticized and blamed for infecting their children.

Recognizing also that many States require expertise and other support to strengthen the capacity of local communities to provide treatment, health care and social services for drug users living with HIV AIDS and other blood borne diseases, consistent with the international drug control treaties,

Pretty contagious idea, isn't it?

Sex education and information should be provided to both those infected and those not infected, and especially to adolescents (para.

There's emotional contagion that takes place in human populations.

September 2002 figures for STDs showed a slight increase in relation to previous years. The local comprehensive health care systems with the highest rates of STDs are usually also the ones most affected by the HIV AIDS epidemic.

The State party should take measures to ensure that all those infected with HIV have equal access to treatment.

Levels of HIV infection among adolescents are significant, with young females experiencing the brunt of HIV transmission.

I do hope we won't have any unseasonable cold spells

Among those infected, 256 are men, and 61 are women.

For countries with an adult prevalence rate above 5 per cent, UNICEF will seek to ensure that at least 60 per cent of adolescents are reached through information, skills and services for preventing HIV infection.

Trachoma is an infection of the eye due to dirt getting into your eye. Multiple infections of trachoma can leave you permanently blind.

Inequalities in terms of access to information, education and health and women's economic dependency on men limited their ability to protect themselves from infection, which was often a result of the behaviour of their partner.

The revenues from this tax are earmarked for promoting community recycling programmes.Bartone, C.R., Economic Policy Issues in Resources Recovery from Municipal Solid Waste, Resource, Conservation and Recycling, 1990, ElSevier Publishing, p.3.

(g) Programmes to control acute respiratory infections (ARI) providing correct case management and training of caregivers at household and community levels are being implemented in 59 countries.

It is basically an operation to deprive women of sexual pleasure.
