HIV/AIDS and Social and Human Sciences
During the First Asia-Pacific Conference on Reproductive and Sexual Health in Bangkok, UNESCO, together with the Asia-Pacific Network of the International Forum for Social Sciences in Health (APNET) and the Asia-Pacific AIDS Society (ASAP), established an e-network on Social Science and HIV/AIDS. The network can be accessed at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aidssocscience/
The secretariat of the network will be located at UNESCO Bangkok's Social and Human Sciences Unit and supported by the HIV/AIDS Coordination Unit of UNESCO Bangkok as well as ASAP and APNET. The overall goal of the Network on Social Science and HIV/AIDS is to contribute to more effective and appropriate HIV prevention and impact alleviation efforts in the Asia-Pacific region by promoting the application of social research and the dissemination and sharing of social research findings relevant to the response to HIV/AIDS. Membership of the Network will be open to anyone but social scientists, activists, NGO workers, government employees and medical personnel working on HIV/AIDS will be its primary users and audience.
