Objectif du module : Identifier les différents virus de fièvres hémorragiques dont le virus Ebola, ses symptômes, modes de transmission et moyens de prévention
Le VIH/SIDA apparaît aujourd’hui comme l’une des pandémies les plus meurtrières au plan
mondial. Il touche particulièrement la zone subsaharienne de l’Afrique qui n’abrite guère plus
de 10% de la population mondiale mais qui possède près de deux tiers du total des personnes
infect...es par le VIH. Au Bénin la prévalence du VIH s’était stabilisée autour de 2% de 2002 à
2005 avant de passer en 2006 à 1,2% selon l’EDSB III. Cette prévalence faible présente des
disparités régionales et sociales. Les tendances épidémiologiques récentes révèlent que
l’affection du VIH/SIDA touche une population de plus en plus jeune et de plus en plus
féminine. Mais quelle est la situation des jeunes scolaires de 15-24 ans ? C’est là la principale
préoccupation prise en compte par cette communication qui vise à analyser l’influence de
l’environnement scolaire sur les risques en termes de sexualité des jeunes de 15-24 ans.

22 April 2022, This document provides updated interim recommendations on the use of masks by health workers providing care to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. This update is prompted by new evidence around mask use and COVID-19 transmission, as well as the emergence of variants of conc...ern including Omicron. Masks continue to be a critical tool to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These interim guidelines supersede the recommendations provided in the WHO recommendations on mask use by health workers, in light of the Omicron variant of concern published on 22 December 2022.
WHO continually evaluates the emerging evidence and will review these interim recommendations within two months and issue new guidance as needed.
