HIV and complications in childbearing remain the leading causes of death among women of reproductive age around the globe. Approximately one-quarter of deaths among pregnant and postpartum women in sub-Saharan Africa are due to HIV. Improving maternal health in the context of the epidemic requires a greater understanding of the relationships between HIV and maternal morbidity and mortality; integrated and effective responses by health systems; and social contexts which promote quality care and encourage the use of HIV and maternal health care services. Research and evaluation from the maternal health and HIV communities can increase collaboration and provide a powerful impetus that strengthens political constituencies and communities of practice in both areas.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recently published results from Fulton County Jail’s (GA) demonstration project to integrate routine rapid HIV screening into the medical intake process.

From January 2011 through March 2012, Fulton County implemented this project. Without which, people diagnosed would likely be diagnosed later in the course of their infection, resulting in delayed access to care and treatment and possible transmission to their partners. Through these screenings, inmate patients also received referrals for community services upon release. Over 12,000 HIV tests were conducted during this time.

Fulton County Jail, a Corizon partner is one of the 50 largest jails in the nation, with an ADP of 2,269 detainees.

HAGATNA, Guam (April 17, 2020) Capt. Maria Young, commanding officer of Naval Hospital Guam (NHG), from Monroe N.Y., addresses hospital corpsmen assigned to NHG during a brief for Sailors participating in COVID-19 testing operations for Sailors assigned to aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). NHG is supporting Theodore Roosevelt in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support mission readiness. Theodore Roosevelt is currently docked at Naval Base Guam where Sailors from the ship are practicing social distancing and following other guidelines from the CDC, U.S. Navy, DoD directive and the Governor of Guam as part of COVID-19 mitigation efforts during a scheduled deployment to the Indo-Pacific.

All hands are on deck among support services from the city and county, as well as various religious and benevolent (civic) organizations to keep alive the rising tide of residents evicted from rentals during the Trump Pandemic. In about a week the late summer declaration banning evictions issued by the Center for Disease Control will expire. If the deadline is not extended, a tidal wave of evictions will leave 100s of thousands in warm climates and cold climates without shelter or food. Desperation will lead to desperate (mis)deeds and needless misery, if not worse.

This photo is taken from the parking lot attached to the city center Indoor Market. Under the I-196 elevated highway there were some homeless persons sheltering in recent weeks. This in the past week an overflow nighttime shelter nearby opened in a vacant retail building. On this mid-morning Saturday about 50 camping tents including a few pup-tents could be seen. Here are there rows of tables staffed by volunteers from agencies and non-profits, religious and non-religious, were distributing food, clothing, and blankets. The outdoor grills scattered around this city park ground were being used to build fires for warmth and light. A few were cooking things to eat, as well. Once or twice a police car quietly rolled by to remain in easy reach for any distress. This snapshot seems to be representative of the Richest Country in History, rich in money and material goods, but poor in social fabric stretched by change and worn thin by diminishing or unchanging support from generations ago when the population was smaller. Elsewhere around the city colorful tents spring up at night, rain or shine, in damp or hard frost.

KEY #9 in the "!0 Keys to Healthy Aging" is Maintaining Healthy Social Contact, probably my favorite key! This morning, I already acted on this key as part of "Take Time for Health" Tuesday.

Here are some of the simple suggestions that the Center for Disease Control recommends through the "10 Keys to Healthy Aging" to remain healthy (I'm sure you can add many yourselves). Looking forward to getting your email to hear your success stories:

Key Ideas for Maintaining Social Contact

 Greet or talk to someone each day

 Plan your day to include others

 Reach out by being a volunteer

 Call a person in need each day

 Learn a new hobby

 Explore the Internet

 Write or e-mail family and friends

 Travel to visit family and friends

 Take dance lessons

 Volunteer as a foster family for cats or kittens at an animal shelter

 Start a weekly card or board game club with neighbors, family, or friends

 Travel with others

 Join groups ororganizations

Some results on how important attitude is to healthy attitude is written about here in WebMD:

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Rachael Tuczynski, 60th Medical Group, 60th Air Mobility Wing, takes the temperature of a patient, July 28, 2020 at Adventist Health Lodi Memorial. California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently declared the state’s central valley as a COVID-19 focal point, noting a significant spike in coronavirus-related cases. Adventist Health Lodi Memorial and Stockton’s Dameron Hospital are two San Joaquin County facilities embedding medical teams from Task Force 46, Joint Force Land Component Command, U.S. Army North. “The rising community transmission rates we are seeing are concerning. This is alarming and we are taking action,” Newsom said, while announcing, “we are making $52 million available to counties in the Central Valley to support local public health departments with additional resources to stop the spread of the virus and reduce the number of hospitalizations related to COVID-19.” U.S. Northern Command, through U.S. Army North, remains committed to providing flexible Department of Defense support to states in need as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency in support of the whole-of-nation COVID-19 response.
