Support to food security and livelihoods with focus on PLWHA in Magude district Having regard to the impact of HIV / AIDS in recent times , it can be said that the campaigns made ??to prevent and combat HIV / AIDS , have not brought effective change in behavior due and traditional cultural habits , or simply are strongly present in the taboos life of communities as fund high-risk sexual behavior . Over 70 % of premature deaths in adults are associated with these habits and cultural practices . The Magude district has many beliefs , myths and cultural practices , such as Livirato ( Kutxinga ) , polygamy, which contributes to the increase and spread of HIV / AIDS within the community leaving the weakened and torn causing more poverty .
HIV prevention continues to be the strategy of the fight against HIV & AIDS , established since the creation of the Program to Combat HIV & AIDS and which has undergone modifications and adjustments initiatives . Despite criticism made ??by approaches that generally is considered poor adaptability to the local context in particular the socio-cultural aspects in order to facilitate the insertion of messages in the routine practice of social interaction and of receiving and acceptance of the same .
The family , education through schools , churches have a very important role in HIV prevention , the school is the basis where the student , the teen is formed and acquires values ??to guide their lives with dignity in their education multiple functions to help materialize this act. The HIV and AIDS emphasize the importance of maintaining this value because being transmitted sexually may interfere with the troubled times of sexual arousal during adolescence . Therefore the initiative by the youth in schools , through debate, theater, educational videos helped to raise awareness and gain habits to get healthy effects on the attitudes and behaviors of young people .
This negative impact of HIV requires rethinking the approach to the treatment of PLWHA , looking at the integration of home care in the treatment of HIV disease making the process mandatory at Community . Also because of the high degree of attitudes of discrimination and stigma is observed within social , making the PLWHA rather than patient with HIV disease , become crippled early due to rejection and abandonment .
Regarding the Home Care should be noted that they are a necessary part of the processing considering the physical debilitation associated with HIV disease . The National Health Service does not cover treatment outside of health facilities . Therefore , debilitating chronic diseases such as HIV disease necessarily have periods of time in the home or recovery of the general state wants to continue the treatment. A part of this time the debilitating state requires support of others , whether family or friends or neighbors . With the evolution of the disease complications arise . It is desirable mastery of skills for these people to identify situations of emergency care professionals . The connection of these people with health care institutions with emergency transport increases the confidence of the patient and family and facilitates their participation in treatment details . The organization of these people is a major contribution of civil society to take care of patients and make access to effective treatment available at health facilities .
In addition to prevention , treatment, care , since we live with HIV / AIDS and people living with HIV and their families is necessary to reduce the vulnerability , the devastating effect of the disease , mitigate the impact , since in the zones without conditions , difficult to access , where the population ' and lacking and because the disease is undermined, HIV treatment can be almost useless if not accompanied with poio food or nutrition education . The fight against HIV & AIDS is also a fight that incorporates poverty .
Thus the Caritas Maputo has since 2007 to develop the draft HIV / AIDS and Food Security in Magude district , in Maputo province .
Following that is the Guidance of PEN ( National Plan to Combat STIs, HIV / AIDS ) , which goes from : Preventive actions ; Intervention About Person living with HIV ( treatment , HBC ) , spoke on the Orphan Child and Mitigation of the impact and fits well in what are the strategic plans for 2006-2010 CAFOD in relation to sustainable livelihoods and HIV / AIDS , so that the emphasis on food security , reducing vulnerability , improving the environment , improving access to drinking water and sanitation , and to raise the living standards of the disadvantaged rural communities , and raise awareness about the impact of HIV and AIDS .
Caritas also based on the principles of Universal Access to Treatment , Mitigation , Prevention , Care , Counselling and Testing wants to continue to contribute to capacity building activities , promotion of inclusive messages to teachers and students in matters related to HIV / AIDS and disclosure of recently passed laws calling for the protection of people living with HIV and those affected by the pandemic , that assured knowledge and defense of the persons concerned , advocating with the relevant bodies to ensure access and rights of PLWHA and OVC mitigation through education nutrition , income generation projects and promote basic education of orphans and vulnerable children .
With all think is pertinent to the continuation of the project that had supported in improving the quality of life of people living with HIV / AIDS and encourage the awareness of the problem in Magude district .
Give consistent actions and leverage the parties involved so that they can walk with their own means. These actions involve financial and human costs and technical support for such financial incentives and technical support CAFOD is very important for the development of this project .
