Decriminalization of HIV by empowering young women living with HIV in Tajikistan was discussed during the round table.

According to official data, 13070 cases of HIV infection (8,342 men and 4,728 women) were registered in Tajikistan from 1991 to December 2020. The main ways of HIV transmission in the Republic of Tatarstan: 60% sexually, 29.4% by injection, 6.7% uncertain, 3.9% from mother to child%

This was stated by Tahmina Haidarova, director of the republican NGO "Tajik Network of Women Living with HIV" during a round table held in Khujand.

The event was organized within the framework of the project "Decriminalization of HIV by empowering young women and girls living with HIV in the Republic of Tajikistan", which is supported by the American Embassy in Tajikistan.

The objectives of the project are to inform law enforcement officials and decision makers about human rights, stigma, discrimination, and HIV-related violence, and international standards in the field of protection

    ‘Sugary food is a drug for me’: A growing number of children are addicted to ultraprocessed foods
    kraken16.at

    Chicago native Jeffrey Odwazny says he has been addicted to ultraprocessed food since he was a child.

    “I was driven to eat and eat and eat, and while I would overeat healthy food, what really got me were the candies, the cakes, the pies, the ice cream,” said the 54-year-old former warehouse supervisor

    “I really gravitated towards the sugary ultraprocessed foods — it was like a physical drive, I had to have it,” he said. “My parents would find hefty bags full of candy wrappers hidden in my closet. I would steal things from stores as a kid and later as an adult.”

    Some 12% of the nearly 73 million children and adolescents in the United States today struggle with a similar food addiction, according to research. To be diagnosed, children must meet Yale Food Addiction Scale criteria as stringent as any for alcohol use disorder or other addictions.

    “Kids are losing control and eating to the point where they feel physically ill,” said Ashley Gearhardt, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor who conducted the research and developed the Yale addiction scale.

    “They have intense cravings and may be sneaking, stealing or hiding ultraprocessed foods,” Gearhardt said. “They may stop going out with friends or doing other activities they used to enjoy in order to stay at home and eat, or they feel too sluggish from overeating to participate in other activities.”

    Her research also shows about 14% of adults are clinically addicted to food, predominantly ultraprocessed foods with higher levels of sugar, salt, fat and additives.

    For comparison, 10.5% of Americans age 12 or older were diagnosed with alcohol use disorder in 2022, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

    While many people addicted to food will say that their symptoms began to worsen significantly in adolescence, some recall a childhood focused on ultraprocessed food.

    “By age 2 or 3, children are likely eating more ultraprocessed foods in any given day than a fruit or vegetable, especially if they’re poor and don’t have enough money in their family to have enough quality food to eat,” Gearhardt said. “Ultraprocessed foods are cheap and literally everywhere, so this is also a social justice issue.”

    An addiction to ultraprocessed foods can highjack a young brain’s reward circuitry, putting the primitive “reptilian brain,” or amygdala, in charge — thus bypassing the prefrontal cortex where rational decision-making occurs, said Los Angeles registered dietitian nutritionist David Wiss, who specializes in treating food addiction.
