U.N. peackeeping : United Nations faces challenges in responding to the impact of HIV/AIDS on peacekeeping operations
Paper
This GAO report (1) analyzes U.N. policies and guidance on the use and deployment of peacekeepers with HIV; (2) examines the data available on HIV/AIDS prevalence rates among peacekeepers; (3) assesses U.N. actions to limit the spread of HIV/AIDS among peacekeepers; and (4) examines U.N. actions to limit the impact of HIV/AIDS on civilians affected by armed conflict, including groups that may come into contact with peacekeepers.
The U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations' (DPO) policies and guidance discourage the deployment of members of uniformed forces with HIV for a number of reasons, including the concern that peacekeepers could potentially become a source of HIV infection for local populations. The DPO's policy does not, however, preclude deployment of individuals with HIV.

AIDS and Violent Conflict in Africa
United States Institute for Peace, October 2001
Paper
This special report gives a synopsis of remarks from an expert panel on the nexus of AIDS and violent conflict in Africa. In addition to an overview of the prevalence of conflict and HIV infection in Africa, panelists discussed an "HIV-conflict continuum." The ends of this continuum encompass how HIV/AIDS contributes to conflict and how conflict creates conditions favorable to the spread of HIV/AIDS. The report concludes with policy recommendations, and a brief bibliography of further resources.
