註釋The ongoing plight of refugees and displaced persons worldwide is one of today' greatest tragedies. The groups can include refugees, civilians who have returned home but still need help, persons displaced internally within their own countries, asylum seekers and stateless people. These people are vulnerable and their ability to cope is left severely compromised. Because the normal social safety nets are often absent, women and girls can be subject to sexual violence and rape, and generally drug and alcohol abuse are often rife. At the same time, health care service are often only minimal or non-existant. The variety of complex factors within refugee camps or displaced settlements makes the people living there enormously vulnerable to HIV. Addressing HIV-related needs in the context of refugee situations requires a change in the thinking of the authorities in many countries of asylum. Failure to provide the necessary interventions could be very harmful to both refugees and the surrounding host populations. In order to meet the HIV-related needs in this context, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and UNAIDS advocate for the implementation of best practices. Suggested best practices include: Integrating refugee issues into national health and HIV programmes; implementing subregional initiatives; and combining funding streams.
