“…The first HIV from stored serum samples and clinically overt AIDS case were detected in 1984 and 1986, respectively [ 38 ]. Ethiopia declared AIDS epidemic in 2000 [ 39 ], and established councils across various sectors at the national level to prevent and control the expedited dissemination of HIV [ 39 ]. Antiretroviral therapy provision began in 2003, and free ART became available since 2005 [ 40 ].…”

Background Mainstreaming HIV and AIDS across sectors is crucial to close the disparities in service provision and coverage. However, evidence has shown that certain social groups are left behind in receiving HIV/AIDS services. The objective of this study was twofold: to understand the reasons behind the existing inequities and to explore challenges of equity in HIV/AIDS services in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. Methods Twenty-two adults (aged 26–57 years) from eighteen sectors that are mainstreaming HIV and AIDS were purposefully selected until the point of saturation and participated in a semi-structured in-depth interview conducted between January 20 and February 17, 2023. Interviewees were asked to describe their mainstreaming experiences in equitable HIV/AIDS services, reflect on the challenges and barriers that impede equitable service provision, or explain the reasons behind the existence of inequity in HIV/AIDS services. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, translated, and iteratively analysed, with early analysis informing subsequent interviews. An inductive-reflexive thematic analysis was conducted, whereby themes and subthemes were identified, and the relationships between subthemes and patterns were critically reviewed. Results The challenges to equitable HIV/AIDS service provision were grouped into eight thematic areas: (1) changing contexts that shifts public and government attention to emerging diseases, war and political instability, and poverty; (2) leadership-related, such as the lack of supervision and monitoring, not politicising HIV/AIDS (not providing political attention to HIV/AIDS) and weak intersectoral collaboration; (3) financial constraints due to a random budgeting and contract interruption with non-governmental organisations (NGOs); (4) lack of resources due to scarcity and unfair distribution; (5) inadequate skilled personnel due to inadequate numbers and lack of continuous professional and career development; (6) lack of equity-related evidence-based tools and guidelines; (7) inadequate understanding of equity due to lack of training and misunderstanding, and lack of access to equity-oriented tools and guidelines; and (8) cultural norms, values, and perceptions. Conclusions This study identified critical challenges faced in the equitable HIV/AIDS services provision. To achieve equity in HIV/AIDS services, mainstreaming sectors need to invest in mechanisms to sustain services in emergency situations; identify effective leaders to maintain collaboration, monitoring, and evaluation; institutionalise responsive budgeting and establish alternative funds to maintain non-governmental organisations initiatives; provide continuous up-to-date training and create a common evidence-sharing platform; implement proper recruitment, education, and professional development of HIV/AIDS focal persons; and promote and practice culturally safe care. It is, therefore, essential to optimise sectors that are mainstreaming HIV/AIDS and incorporate equity considerations in their strategic plans and working guidelines.

Cet article interroge, d’un point de vue anthropologique, la condition de pauvreté de femmes vivant avec le VIH. Après avoir décrit l’enchevêtrement des politiques de lutte contre cette épidémie et des programmes de réduction de la pauvreté, l’auteure étudie les rôles que le VIH a joués tant au plan de l’identification des femmes pauvres et des manières de leur venir en aide qu’au sein de leurs parcours de sortie de la pauvreté. L’article démontre ainsi que les stratégies de prise en charge globale du VIH participent à divers parcours de mobilité sociale, tout en contribuant à des processus de reproduction des inégalités de santé et de diversification de leur expression.
