Reproductive Health Essentials--Securing the Supply

Global Strategy for Reproductive Health Commodity Security

Previously known as AIDS Update, this is the 11th annual publication to provide information about action taken by UNFPA to prevent HIV infection. HIV/AIDS threatens to destroy a whole generation of leaders, workers, parents and youth, and to create a generation of orphans in the worst-affected countries. In many countries, the infection is creeping through the population, preparing to strike full-force. Prevention is about striking first. Reproductive health information, services and supplies enable people to avoid HIV infection and to protect themselves, their partners and their unborn children from this deadly virus.

Reproductive Health Commodity Security: Partnerships for Change - A Global Call to Action

It also projects contraceptive costs, shortfalls and consequences.
