Definition
TB is the leading cause of adult mortality in China from infectious disease but when a DOTS program was implemented (with monetary benifits given to doctors who ensured the proper implementation of DOTS) there was a decline of almost 40% of TB prevelance in DOTS areas compared to non-DOTS areas which only experienced a 3 % decrease. In addtion, there was strong government support and the treatment was provided for free. There was an extensive support network implemented through local doctors and village networks and infrastructure was provided in the form of clinics, training staff and local and national recording of cases. |

Challenges of TB treatment in India and DOTS implementation there |
|
Definition
First established a National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) in the 1960's with very poor results. Very few patients finished their treatment as there was a short supply of drugs, support, staff, diagnosis tools and patient follow up. In 1993 RNTCP was established to implemented the WHO DOTS program. The goal was to cure 85% and reach 70%.
They evaluated the intergration of DOTS into different clinics (with controls).
Those with RNTCP were often stuck waiting on lines and just handed drugs to take elsewhere in the clinic. The cure rate was around 70% with a drop out rate between 6-11% |

Term
Difficulty of DOTS in India |
|
Definition
More than half of the patients opted out or were excluded from the DOTS program:
the patients either found the logistics too complicated or the provider refused because they did not want those who were less able to comply to their treatment method to spoil their results.
Social marginalization and poverty were key factors in exclusion |

AIDS orphans as a percentage of the overall orphan population |

Epidemic Curves of HIV and AIDS and how this affects orphanhood |

Because there is a delay between initial infection and death from AIDS there is a lag in orphanhood. As a result we can expect a huge jump in AIDS orphans after this delay is caught up.

What is the Double Jeopardy?
|
|
Definition
As seen in "HIV and Mortality of Mothers and Children" the double jeopardy is that children whose mother is HIV positive have almost 3 times the risk of death AND children whose mother dies are more than 3 times as likely to die within the next two years of life for both HIV positive and negative mothers. However, since mothers who are HIV positive run a higher risk of death, children of HIV positive mothers run the double risk of having their mother die and that she is HIV positive. |

Changes in Caregivers: Health |

You are more likely to get your kids vaccinated then foster kids. HOWEVER in 1992, a study shows that foster kids are more likely to be vaccinated. This shows what the impact the HIV/AIDS epidemic has had on foster children in recent years. When the AIDS epidemic first started, it had effected much less people. Children were placed in homes that were better off and often their parents were not dead and still cared for them. In a lot of ways, foster kids were doing a lot better. |
