Bibliography on HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia and Ethiopians in the Diaspora: The 2010 Update

Abstract

Introduction
This is the eighth update of the bibliography on HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, which has been published annually since 2003. All the seven previous issues included published and unpublished research on HIV/AIDS and related health conditions and issues, including other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, and socioeconomic, behavioral and policy as well as risk behavior, gender based violence, family planning, and relevant health policy and interventions. This update extends the bibliography to cover references not listed in previous updates, both publications and presentations that appeared in 2010 and those that were missed by earlier updates. Following the format of the 2009 Update, this issue presents new references under the same eight main headings, as follows: earlier bibliographies on HIV/AIDS and related health and socio-economic issues, basic biomedical research, epidemiological, social, and behavioral research, treatment, care and clinical research, prevention research, health services and health policy research, health informatics, monitoring, and evaluation research, and HIV/AIDS research on Ethiopians in the diaspora. Similarly, Section 1 lists earlier bibliographies on topics related to HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia and Section 10 lists of selected websites. The text preceding the reference listing not only highlights representative studies in their respective categories, but also addresses issues and questions that continue to emerge as part of the changing HIV epidemic and expanding interventions. In this update we are giving particular attention to the up scaling of antiretroviral treatment, ART in the country and the expansion and reorganizing of the antiretroviral (ART) delivery services and related issues. In this issue, we are cross-referencing some references in different sections to provide more comprehensive coverage of the epidemiological, treatment, care, prevention and health informatics issues addressed in the same publications.
