The Global Framework Positive health, dignity and Prevention
The Global Framework What do we mean by Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention?
Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention is … …our advocacy for holistic health and wellbeing of people living with HIV.
Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention is … … our advocacy for the leadership of people living with HIV
Where did the concept come from? At an International Consultation, held in Tunisia in April of 2009 these were some messages that PLHIV shared from their home countries…
LATIN AMERICA “HIV-positive people should not have sex.”
EASTERN EUROPE “My doctor told me, use condoms or go to prison.”
AFRICA ‘HIV-positive women cannot have children’
Need to shift towards a more empowering concept that… • Places PLHIV at the center of their own care • Addresses the context in which we live (economic, educational and socio-cultural, gender) • Respects diversity • Advocates for a supportive and protective legal and policy environment
Values and PrinciplesSource:GNP+, UNAIDS. 2011. Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention: A Policy Framework. Amsterdam, GNP+. • People living with HIV must be leaders in the design, programming, implementation, research, monitoring and evaluation of all programmes and policies affecting them. "We are more than patients”
Values and Principles Source: GNP+, UNAIDS. 2011. Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention: A Policy Framework. Amsterdam, GNP+. • A human rights approach is the foundation of Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention. “We will not be treated as vectors of transmission.”
Values and Principles Source: GNP+, UNAIDS. 2011. Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention: A Policy Framework. Amsterdam, GNP+. • Preventing HIV transmission is a shared responsibility of all individuals irrespective of HIV status. "We are all responsible for HIV prevention”
Values and PrinciplesSource: GNP+, UNAIDS. 2011. Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention: A Policy Framework. Amsterdam, GNP+. • Sexual and reproductive health and rights must be recognised and exercised by everyone regardless of HIV status. ‘We have needs and desires to be fulfilled’
Perspective: Zambia How have we seen this action at a national level?
Insisting on training for providers • PLHIV advocacy for nurses, doctors, community health workers and lay counsellors to be trained to a certain standard to ensure • Full information • Full choice • Non-judgemental and supportive attitude
Developing health charters • Mutual agreement between clients and providers about what they want to see: • Issues of confidentiality, disclosure and appropriate referrals • Practical issues, e.g. opening times, service provided • Agreement on processes – what to do when an issue arises? How to handle it with mutual respect
Quality Assessment ToolScore Cards • Speaking up when things are not right! • Using score cards to monitor • what isworking • what isn’t so it can be improved!
The Case for InvolvementSource: http://www.gnpplus.net/en/programmes/empowerment • People living with HIV have unique expertise to bring to the table – to inform governments where and how programmes can be strengthened and improved. • It is therefore important to increase the skills of many more people living with HIV so that they have the confidence to speak out in key decision-making forums.
How do we make decisions? • Estimate the number of candies in the jar. • Pair up with another person. • As a group of 2 make an estimate. • Together, join another pair and as a group of 4, make an estimate. • Finally, as a four, join another four, and as a group of 8, make a final estimate.
Breaking it down: how to become involved in health care decision-making • Involvement of People Living with HIV in Health Care Decision-Making • How People Living with HIV can be involved in Health Care Decision-Making • Opportunities for People Living with HIV to be involved in Health Care Decision-Making • Introduction to Quality Tools and Resources to Support Involvement of People Living with HIV in Health Care Decision-Making

Prioritization Activity • Using the list of care priorities, individually rank each of the concerns in order of importance to you • Discuss in your small groups your personal rankings and together come up with a single ranking • Select a Recorder and Presenter to share with the group your outcomes and process
Healthcare Decision-Making • Paternalistic Model • The physician chooses the treatment without involving you in the decision-making process, and then you passively acquiesce to professional authority. • Informed Model • The physician presents all relevant treatment options and their benefits and risks. • You then deliberate and makes a treatment decision. • Shared Model • You and the physician share all stages of the decision-making process. • You exchange information, declare treatment preferences. • Together you work to build consensus on the most appropriate treatment to implement for you!
