Since the early years of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, stigma has been understood to be a major barrier to successful HIV prevention, care, and treatment. This article highlights findings from more than 10 studies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America—conducted from 1997 through 2007 as part of the Horizons program—that have contributed to clarifying the relationship between stigma and HIV, determining how best to measure stigma a…
Addressing Gender Dynamics and Engaging Men in HIV Programs
In the field of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention, there has been increasing interest in the role that gender plays in HIV and violence risk, and in successfully engaging men in the response. This article highlights findings from more than 10 studies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America—conducted from 1997 through 2007 as part of the Horizons program—that have contributed to understanding the relationship between gender and men's behavi…
Combating HIV stigma in health care settings
The purpose of this review paper is to provide information and guidance to those in the health care setting about why it is important to combat HIV‐related stigma and how to successfully address its causes and consequences within health facilities.

Environmental–Structural Interventions to Reduce HIV/STI Risk Among Female Sex Workers in the Dominican Republic
Objectives. We assessed the effectiveness of 2 environmental–structural interventions in reducing risks of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among female sex workers in the Dominican Republic. Methods. Two intervention models were implemented over a 1-year period: community solidarity in Santo Domingo and solidarity combined with government policy in Puerto Plata. Both were evaluated via preintervention–postintervention cross-section…
High Rates and Positive Outcomes of HIV-Serostatus Disclosure to Sexual Partners
It's raining stones’
Research in many countries has highlighted the vulnerability of men who have sex with men to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Yet in Africa, such men have received little attention in HIV/AIDS programming and service delivery because of the widespread denial and stigmatization of male homosexual behaviour. In Dakar, Senegal, a study conducted by researchers from Cheikh Anta Diop University, the Senegal National Council Agains…
HIV-Positive Women Report More Lifetime Partner Violence
Objectives. Experiences of partner violence were compared between HIV-positive and HIV-negative women. Methods. Of 340 women enrolled, 245 (72%) were followed and interviewed 3 months after HIV testing to estimate the prevalence and identify the correlates of violence. Results. The odds of reporting at least 1 violent event was significantly higher among HIV-positive women than among HIV-negative women (physical violence odds ratio [OR] = 2.63; 9…
Tuskegee
Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute, founded in 1881 as a secondary school for African Americans, was built with the help of white designers, trustees, and donors who shared planning decisions with the black architects and landscape architects that earlier studies have revealed. Widely known as an oasis of racial peace even when southern states were disfranchising African Americans, legalizing discrimination, and denying educational parity-…
National Register Evaluation of New Orleans Drainage System, Orleans Parish, Louisiana
The modern New Orleans drainage system represents a unique technological solution to natural conditions that have played an important role in the settlement and expansion of the city. The system was designed in 1895, and construction of the system began in 1897. Improvements to Drainage Pumping Stations Nos. 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 are proposed - under the Southeast Louisiana Flood Control Project and the Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity Louisiana Hurri…
