Abstract

Natural calamities possess a profound and multifaceted impact on HIV control, posing significant challenges to the infrastructure and initiatives aimed at managing the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This review scrutinizes the intricate dynamics between natural disasters and HIV control efforts, elucidating the disruptions these calamities create within prevention, treatment, and care programs. The repercussions extend from compromised healthcare services, heightened vulnerability among affected populations, to the impeded execution of preventive measures. Understanding the interplay between disasters and HIV control is pivotal for devising adaptive strategies capable of sustaining effective interventions during and in the aftermath of catastrophic events. This review amalgamates insights from existing literature, delving into the complexities and proposing mitigation strategies to fortify HIV control in disaster-prone regions. Keywords: Natural disasters, HIV/AIDS, Vulnerability, Displacement, Prevention programs, Psychosocial support, Disaster preparedness, Community engagement, Disaster response

灾难余波：自然灾害对艾滋病毒控制的影响

自然灾害对艾滋病控制有着深远和多方面的影响，给旨在管理艾滋病疫情的基础设施和措施带来了重大挑战。本综述仔细研究了自然灾害与艾滋病控制工作之间错综复杂的动态关系，阐明了这些灾害对预防、治疗和护理计划造成的破坏。这些影响包括医疗保健服务受损、受影响人群的脆弱性增加，以及预防措施的执行受阻。了解灾难与艾滋病控制之间的相互作用，对于制定适应性策略，在灾难性事件发生期间和之后维持有效的干预措施至关重要。本综述综合了现有文献中的观点，深入探讨了其中的复杂性，并提出了在易受灾害地区加强艾滋病控制的缓解策略。关键词自然灾害艾滋病毒/艾滋病易感性流离失所预防计划社会心理支持备灾社区参与灾难应对
