Such factors could be poverty, illiteracy, gender, living in a rural area, being a refugee, etc. • Impact is about the long-term changes that HIV/AIDS causes at an individual, a community or a society level. HIV/AIDS not only impacts on the physical and mental health of individuals and populations, but a full blown epidemic also changes socio-cultural structures and traditions and impacts on economies and many different sectors. All sectors determine • how they may contribute to the spread of HIV • how the epidemic is likely to affect their sector's goals, objectives and programmes • where their sector has a comparative advantage to respond to and limit the spread of HIV and to mitigate the impact of the epidemic Three key questions • How does HIV/AIDS affects organization and its work? • How to do no harm? • How can organization contribute to fighting HIV/AIDS by limiting the spread and mitigating the impact of epidemics? Definition Mainstreaming is a process that enables organsations to address the causes and effects of HIV/AIDS in an effective and sustained manner,both through their usual work and within their workplace (UNAIDS) Definition Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS can be defined as the process of analysing how HIV and AIDS impacts on all sectors now and in the future, both internally and externally, to determine how each sector should respond based on its comparative advantage. HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming Working Group Mainstreaming • Internal – Organization/workplace • External – Serviced populations What HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming is NOT • It is NOT simply providing support for a Health Ministry’s programme. • It is NOT trying to take over specialist healthrelated functions. • It is NOT changing core functions and responsibilities (instead it is viewing them from a different perspective and refocusing them). • It is NOT business as usual – some things must change.

We hypothesize that the industry surrounding the AIDS epidemic is outweighing the negative impact from the depletion of growth enhancing resources. – Edwards J., Al-Hmoud R. “Aids Mortality and Economic Growth: A Cross-Country Analysis Using Income-Stratified Data”, 2002 • One cannot endlessly lament the scourge of high population growth in the developing world and then conclude that a reversal of such processes is an equal economic disaster. The AIDS epidemic is a humanitarian disaster of millenial proportions, one that cries for assistance. It is not, however, an economic disaster. – A.Young. “The Gift of the Dying: The Tragedy of AIDS and the Welfare of Future African Generations”, 2004 Custom duties • Custom duties on medicines – But also (MEDT) • Russian accession to WTO • 6-year period of data closure for generic drugs • What is better – produce or purchase?
