World Health Organization 2003; US$ 13.50Around the world, telephone helplines have proved to be an accessible, affordable and acceptable source of HIV/AIDS information, counselling and referrals for callers from all walks of life.

Reaching Out, Scaling up
World Health Organization 2003; US$ 13.50The theme of this report reflects a concern that has become increasingly important in the past few years.

Faith-based Response to HIV in Southern Africa (A)
World Health Organization 2006; US$ 13.50This study describes the work of the Choose to Care initiative of the Catholic Church in Southern Africa. It shows that effective scaling up of programmes in the response to HIV, and work towards making universal access a reality, does not necessarily have to be the expansion of a single central service. Through the Choose to Care initiative the Church... more...
Global Reach - How Trade Unions are Responding to AIDS
World Health Organization 2006; US$ 13.50This Best Practice report shows how the power of working people can be harnessed in the response to AIDS.

World Health Organization 2006; US$ 13.50UNAIDS commissioned this report to investigate programmes and sites in low-income and transitional countries which were regarded by international authorities as 'high coverage sites' -that is, where more than 50% of injecting drug users had been reached by one or more HIV-prevention interventions. The most significant finding is that high level coverage... more...
