Prevention of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic- What is Actually Reality?
PALÁTOVÁ, Ilona
HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic constantly represents the current health and social problem. In my bachelor thesis on Prevention of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic - What is actually the reality? I decided to address this issue in detail from the perspective of present situation and also with respect to possibilities of the disease prevention. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part includes the HIV/AIDS issue in general, the issue of testing in the context of legislative conditions, and much of the theoretical part is devoted to the theory of HIV/AIDS prevention. The practical part was performed by qualitative forms of research. The first objective was to monitor a current range of services for the prevention of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic. The second objective was to monitor possibilities of anonymous testing of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic. Due to restructuring of Public Health Institute and individual Health Institutes and due to general reduction in funding targeted on prevention, the services in the area of anonymous testing and counseling are being reduced.The third objective was to monitor possibilities of anonymous HIV/AIDS counseling in the Czech Republic. The last objective, number 4, was to analyse the occurrence trends of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic. All objectives were met. Three questions were developed for the purpose of the research. What is the incidence and the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic to 31.12. 2011? What is the range of services for the secondary prevention of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic in 2011? What resources were directed to the national program for prevention of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic for the year 2011? Although in terms of prevalence the Czech Republic does not belong to countries at risk, given the characteristics of the disease and its incidence, it is essential to pay adequate attention to risks of HIV/AIDS, both in the clinical area and in prevention above all. For prevention means the least expensive and the most effective strategy in the fight against this disease. The paradox of this issue is that the number of infected with HIV/AIDS has been rising, however, the costs of prevention have been falling. This thesis might be used for medialization of this issue for the general public and for the enrichment of the course in epidemiology. Furthermore, it could be used as a contribution to the academic discussion.
