| Undervisnings- form: |
The module is based on interdisciplinary teaching and problem oriented learning. Both lectures and group work are important components. Group work will mainly be used in relation to specific case studies. For each session, we consider the current state of research, as well as policy and practice and critically examine the underlying paradigms. In addition, site visits to relevant private, public or voluntary-sector organisations will form part of the course programme.
Thus, students are expected to actively participate in the learning process and prepare for the sessions by studying distributed and recommended reading materials. Students are encouraged to find and study additional literature themselves and extra-curricular ‘journal clubs', where participants present and discuss the results of their searches are organised. A group assignment will be initiated in the first course week, to be presented for other students and the course leader in the last week of the course.

| Indhold: |
With improved access to ARV therapy in low- and middle income countries the response to the HIV pandemic has changed towards a more bio-medical approach. Whereas the international community has focused much on improving access to ARV therapy for people in need, often through vertical programmes, there is an increasing need to strengthen the capacity of professionals to translate protocols and guidelines into workable programmes for local health care systems and with a renewed focus on prevention.
The course content reflects local, national as well a global perspectives and is structured around the following themes:
Programmatic responses to HIV
Expanded access to ARV treatment programmes
Involvement of civil society, such as NGOs, faith-based organisations and HIV-positive networks |
