Impacts Research This section includes studies on the characteristics and course of HIV infection and opportunistic infections, treatment to AIDS and opportunistic infections, effects and outcomes associated with treatment, clinical nonclinical care and supportive services to people living with HIV/AIDS. This is again the smallest section after Diaspora Research, but it must be noted that HIV/AIDS impacts on health and various socioeconomic parameters are also described in many studies included in the other sections. Whereas social and economic impacts of HIV/AIDS have received considerable attention by researchers, mental impacts have been largely neglected. Bezabih (4) found that 59% of the PLHIV they studied decided not to have any more children, 40% not to have sex and 37% not to get married, with significantly higher rates among females than males, and around 12% each terminated their education, training and employment because of their HIV status. Similarly disturbing is Bezabih’s finding that one in 5 PLHIV studied felt suicidal. A study pointing out the persistence of widespread commercial sex work notes that the rights and safety of adult sex workers and minors are often compromised in the context of the broader legal framework (7). The authors’ suggestion that structural interventions such as micro economic initiatives designed to rehabilitate commercial sex workers have largely failed needs to be scrutinized in further studies in the search for viable interventions. Green et al. (6) examine measures of self stigma and optimism about the future towards a better understanding Ethiop. J.

The authors call for quantitative research that can define indicators for livelihood vulnerability and resilience for HIV-affected households. The issues addressed by the remaining studies, including challenges faced by sensory disabled women (1), coping strategies to meet livelihood needs (3, 5) and the incidence and correlates of low birth weight (8) have been reported in earlier publications. 1.
