Traditionally, HIV prevention focuses on individual behaviours that place one at risk for HIV infection. Less widely regarded as a fundamental public health issue is parental depression and the detrimental effects it exerts on infant and child development, as well as its key contribution to non-fatal burden. Much like many HIV prevention and treatment interventions, programmes for depression focus almost exclusively on individuals and individual behaviour. This paper will use the extensive evidence base from research into parental depression as a model to argue for a family based approach to HIV prevention and treatment. The aim of this will be to make a case for targeting a broader set of behaviours that occur within families when developing and implementing interventions.
传统上,HIV 预防侧重于可能导致 HIV 感染的个人行为。人们较少关注的一个基本公共卫生问题是父母的抑郁,以及它对婴儿和儿童发育的不利影响,以及它对非致命负担的主要贡献。与许多 HIV 预防和治疗干预措施一样,针对抑郁的方案几乎完全侧重于个人及其个人行为。本文将利用关于父母抑郁的广泛研究证据基础,提出一种基于家庭的 HIV 预防和治疗方法。这样做的目的是为在制定和实施干预措施时针对家庭中发生的更广泛行为提供依据。
