General goal: To persuade
Specific goal: I want to convince people to not neglect people who suffering HIV/AIDS
Introduction
- I remembered a quote by Princess Diana said that “HIV does not make people dangerous to know, so you can shake their hands and give them a hug, Heaven knows they need it”. She is one of the prominent people to be pictured touching those who suffering AIDS. It gives significant impact on changing people’s perception about this disease.
- HIV is a serious disease that had spread in the community since decades ago. HIV is a virus that attacked the immune system, which is human body’s defence against illness. It can be found in the human body of infected person such as semen, blood, vaginal and anal fluids and breast milk. It cannot be transferred through saliva, sweat urine. Meanwhile, AIDS is a syndrome caused by HIV virus.
- I had made a research through the internet, news to deeply understand about this epidemic and their rights as human.
- We should provide a better life for those suffering HIV/AIDS and give the privileges of rights.
- We would examine the widespread of HIV/AIDS in local and global, and the how to engage with this patients in the aspect of humanity.
Let’s move to the problem that arise in globalize.
Body
- HIV continues to spread throughout the global that gives great impact on the economy and social well-being. According to the Dr. Luis Sambo World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Director for Africa, he stated that Sub Saharan Africa is the hardest hit by HIV/AIDS pandemic(WHO Regional Office for Africa, 2015).
- HIV/AIDS continues to gives significant impact on the demographic, social and economic growth.
- He also stated that about 1.7 million of people newly infected with HIV were in the Africa on the report at the meeting for Friendship among Peoples on August 2012 (WHO Regional Office for Africa, 2015).
- This epidemic had vulnerable effect on the youth and females because they lack access to the uses of antiretroviral drugs for HIV prevention of mother-to-child transmission.
- The structures and division of labour in household and communities are totally disrupted when the parents and workers were succumbed to HIV-related diseases.
- It totally altered the responsibility because women had to take heavy burden to earning their life.
- The effect cascade across society, increasing poverty and dependency level.
Clearly, this epidemic is a major outcome of poverty and lead to self-esteem to free from the poverty.
- Poverty gives outcome in the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the Sub Saharan region.
- Women are vulnerability affected by this disease because poverty had led them to involve in early marriages, sex trade and polygamy to increase their living standard. Meanwhile, men migrated from their hometown to seek work in South African gold, platinum and diamonds mine.
- It is not simply that information, messages, counselling activities might not reach the poor, but it may irrelevant and inoperable given their reality of lives.
- Activist should engage with every level of ages by educate or nurture them with knowledge and exposed them to the outside world.
- It is to enhance their literacy and marketable skills, ultimately boost the labor productivity.
- Great incentive taken by WHO and other stakeholders for investment into the AIDS response.
- It is collective responsibility to provide more affordable drugs and commodities, innovative service delivery can be easily accessible to all countries, enthusiasm among activist and response from the local community.
- They should extend the uses of antiretroviral treatment as a therapy to all citizens that affected by HIV/AIDS.
- They need to make a framework to scale up further intervention that can be effective against this epidemic in term of tackling poverty and empower the youth and women that make them vulnerable.
Now, let’s us look into the smaller scope which is happen in our country.
- This epidemic was first reported in Malaysia in 1986 and rapidly increasing day by day.
- It is concentrated within injecting drug users, sex workers, transgender and other unconsciously deeds such as through transmission of blood.
- According to Malaysian Aids Council, Malaysia was estimated to 81,900 people living with HIV in 2012 and the new infected is about 3,393 in 2013(PT Foundation, 2015).
- The widespread of this epidemic in Malaysia had opened the eyes of many sides including government and related-Non Government Organizations (NGO).
- They were concern regarding the mandatory HIV testing, restriction on international travel, barriers for employment and housing, access to education, medical care, insurance policy, and other issues.
- Malays hold the highest affected by HIV/AIDS about 70% (PT Foundation, 2015).
- The authorities should struggle to diminish the hub for the widespread of this epidemic especially in the narrow path, night club and other targeted places.
We cannot point the fingers to the authorities, yet we should collectively help and prevent this epidemic.
- Local communities must be an eye and ear to the authorities and to those who suffering from this stigma.
- People who are close to the patient are their next of keen, hence they should take care of their health, dietary food, and most important is give moral support to them.
- They should provide a shelter and food instead of kick them out from the house and let they lived as a homeless until at the end of their life.
- The barriers for employment continued to be denied, their insurance scheme and their capacity to work. Employers should provide opportunities for them to contribute to the national growth.
- Children with HIV infection should not be separate with other normal children in the school and teacher should play important role as a close friend to hear their problems.
Understanding the human rights for infected person is necessary to make effective diminish of this epidemic.
