Description
HIV/AIDS Prevention Programs
At the 2009 World AIDS Day, Ban Ki-moon, who was the Secretary General of the United Nations, spoke about the next steps to combat AIDS. Ban said (Global Commission, 2011):
I urge all countries to remove punitive laws, policies and practices that hamper the AIDS response…Successful AIDS responses do not punish people; they protect them…We must ensure that AIDS responses are based on evidence, not ideology, and reach those most in need and most affected. (p. 1)
In 2010, The Global Commission on HIV and Law was launched by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) to make recommendations to countries for better HIV response and treatment. This commission was formed to help eradicate HIV/AIDS globally by changing cultural beliefs about the illness through legal changes, health prevention, and education. Consider how culture-specific concepts of HIV/AIDS, among other psychological processes, may impact the likelihood of successful prevention programming.
Use your Final Project culture of interest (Arabic) and select another culture with different attitudes, beliefs, and practices related to HIV/AIDS then
1. Provide a brief description of the two cultures you selected.
2. Describe two cultural attitudes, two cultural beliefs, and two cultural practices regarding HIV/AIDS in the cultures you selected.
3. Explain two factors that may impede the success of an HIV/AIDS prevention program in the cultures you selected and why.
Support your responses using evidenced based current literature.

HIV/AIDS Prevention Programs
Discrimination and stigma against men and women living with HIV such as people that
use drugs, sex workers, men having sex with men or transgender individuals made life
unbearable for them. People at risk of contracting the virus get marginalized and least informed
about the actions they ought to take. Governments, societies and non-governmental institutions
