COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN ON HIV AND AGING POPULATION

Community Action Plan on HIV and Aging population

Abstract

This action program aims to bridge the funding gap in order to prevent the disease of HIV among older people of Canada by implementing an awareness program, to combat the HIV / AIDS and other diseases. Given that funding for the fight against AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis is still insufficient, the community shall enhance initiatives that can bring better results. This research was based on a qualitative analysis, which provides an explanation of the process under study and its essence, origin and manifestation, in contrast to what it offers as quantitative research in terms of numbers. The qualitative research involves an interpretive approach, which is naturalist toward its object of study. The researchers study the reality in its natural context, as it happens, trying to get a sense of, or interpret phenomena in accordance with the meanings they have for the people involved. The present case relates to the older generation of Canada.
