Recommended HIV/AIDS Strategies for Hong Kong 2007-2011
The Hong Kong Advisory Council on AIDS, in its mandate to advise the Government on policies relating to the prevention, care and control of HIV infection and AIDS in Hong Kong, developed this new Strategies for year 2007-2011. The document serves as the blueprint for the collective AIDS effort in the next five years, in response to the changing local epidemic.
This recommended Strategies is divided into 3 parts. The first part comprises a brief overview of the current HIV/AIDS situation and programme response. The second part depicts the Strategies framework and identifies current priority areas. The third part delineates targets and indicators, and describes the stakeholders and players pivotal to achieving the tasks. Specific targeted action plans are not the intention of this document.
This document is to be used by all people and organizations which are involved in the fight against AIDS in Hong Kong. A partnership approach is taken. We recommend that the Hong Kong government will adopt it as the blueprint document for providing policy and funding support. The Department of Health shall use it to guide its programme and resource planning, service delivery and facilitation of community response. The AIDS non-governmental organizations shall base on the document for aligning and augmenting their prevention and care efforts, largely through the involvement and serving of affected communities and advocacy. Other non-governmental organizations and academic institutions shall use it as a guide in their participation in AIDS services and researches. The Council for the AIDS Trust Fund and the Advisory Council on AIDS shall also base on the document in serving their roles in the AIDS response.
The HIV epidemic in Hong Kong has entered a dynamic and volatile phase. While striving to lay down the overall programme direction with focus on priority areas in this Strategies for the moment, the ACA acknowledges the difficulties to fully and accurately predict the coming situation and needs. Hence, continual monitoring of the epidemic and programme priorities will be necessary for our AIDS response.
