26 What can we do?
27 Identifying and changing pathways of risk AIDSorphan Unable to afford fees or uniform Education risks.06 Poverty.29 Stigma Parental disability Abuse.90 Psychological distress Pregnancy AIDSsick parent Community Violence.17 Sexual health risks
28 How may interventions help? Transactional sex and older sexual partners Cash transfers School meals Free schooling Don t need a sugar daddy to pay for food Don t need a sugar daddy to pay school fees Reduced risk transactional sex/older partner Consistentsocial protection used as these are risks that develop over time
29 Transactional sex by child-focused grant 10 Past-year % incidence of transactional sex by (girls 13-17) Maintained grant over time No grant over time
30 Transactional sex by free school access 5 Past-year % incidence of transactional sex (girls 13-17) maintained free schooling over time no free schooling over time
31 School dropout by child-focused grant 10 Past-year % incidence of school dropout (girls) maintained child-focused grant over time no child-focused grant over time
32 Failed grade by free schooling 56 Lifetime % prevalence of failed grade (boys) maintained free schooling over time no free schooling over time
33 Delinquency scores by school assistance (meals, free uniforms etc.) 4 Mean delinquency score (boys) maintained school assistance over time no school assistance over time
34 What can this tell us for programming? Children in AIDS-affected families at higher risk for HIVinfection, educational, physical and psychological problems. Reducing sexual risk for AIDS-affected children needs social protection not only behavioural interventions Interactive model of risk shows modifiable pathways from familial AIDS to child risks. Reducing extreme poverty, abuse, stigma andpsychological distress could interrupt these risk pathways Social protection programmes can reduce risks for vulnerable children.
