Q3. AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis are worldwide diseases which make millions victims every year.

We want to know the progress done from 2005 to 2010 for fighting these 3 epidemics. How do you proceed? Indicate all steps and actions for obtaining real situation in the world.

INTRODUCTION Some keywords: AIDS: this refers to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. This epidemic disease is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and is transmitted through unprotected sexual relations with an infected person, untested blood transfusion, infected mother to the new born during birth, unsterilized sharp objects, accident etc. Malaria: is a disease caused by a female mosquito called Anopheles which injects plasmodium into the human blood. Or n infective disease caused by protozoan parasites that are transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito; marked by paroxysms of chills and fever Tuberculosis: Infection transmitted by inhalation or ingestion of tubercle bacilli (TB)and manifested in fever and small lesions (usually in the lungs but in various other parts of the body in acute stages) In order to obtain a real worldwide situation of the above epidemics diseases we have to do a research. This research will be carried out using different methods such as: I. Problem statement

It has been shown that throughout these last years, the epidemics diseases like AIDS, Malaria and tuberculosis triggered several countries worldwide. When they are not well treated they cause more death day after day. Therefore different states and international organizations have invested a lot of money in fighting against these diseases. According to the World Malaria Report, The estimates of malaria burden vary; every year, malaria is reported to cause more than 250-66 0 million infections and more than a million deaths (mostly among African children). However, the World Malaria Report estimates that the number of cases of malaria raised from

233 million in 2000 to 244 million in 2005 but decreased to 225 million in 2009. Also according to this report, the number of deaths due to malaria decreased from 985 000 in 2000 to 781 000 in 2009 [1]. In 2009, 1.8 million people died from AIDS, 1.3 million died from TB, and 0.8 million died from Malaria [2]. More than 910,000 lives worldwide have so far been saved in the last six years by improved collaboration between AIDS virus and tuberculosis health services, the World Health Organization announced on Friday. WHO reported that since the initial alliance between tuberculosis and HIV prevention, diagnosis and treatment was proposed in 2004, the number of HIV patients tested for tuberculosis has increased almost 12-fold from 200,000 to more than 2.3 million, and the number of tuberculosis patients tested for HIV increased by five times from 470,000 to 2.2 million between 2005 and 2010.[3] . II. Executive literature review

This refers to reviewing the previous findings about this research which will show the progress done from 2005 to 2010 for fighting the above mentioned 3 epidemics. III. The working hypothesis

In this research we want to find out if there were some progress done in fighting against AIDS/HIV, Malaria and tuberculosis from 2005 to 2010. IV. Methods of data collections and data collections

The data are collected using different the following methods. Some of them are discussed in the following sections. Some of them require us to have recommendation letter that allowed us to permission of conducting the research. 1. Questionnaires Under this method a questionnaire will be sent to the persons such United Nations Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (UNAIDS), USAID, Hospitals like CHUK,CHB,King faisal Hospital, Centre National de lute contre le SIDA(CNLS),Ministry of health, PSI, World Heajth

organization(WHO) etc concerned with our request, answer the questions and return the questionnaire. This questionnaire will consist of number of questions which will either be printed or typed in definite order on a form or set forms. The questionnaires will be mailed to respondents who are expected to read and understand the questions and write down the reply in the space meant for the purpose in our questionnaire itself and the respondents will be requested to answer the questions on their own. Before using this method, we should conduct pilot study or pilot survey for testing the questionnaires. During the process of carrying out this questionnaire the following type of questions will be avoided. The questions that will put too great a strain on the memory of the respondents Questions of personal character Questions related to personal wealth Technical terms and vague expressions capable of different interpretations in the questionnaire etc. For us to succeed by using this method the questionnaire that we shall set should be short and simple i.e. the size of the questionnaire should be kept to the minimum. The questions will proceed in logical sequence moving easy to more difficult questions. 2. Interview It is the questioning of a person (or a conversation in which information is elicited); often conducted by interviewer. It involves presentation oral-verbal stimuli and reply in terms of oralverbal responses. This method can be used through personal interviews, and if possible through telephone interviews. Personal interview: we have to ask questions generally face-to-face contact to one or more persons of the hospitals or organizations (interviewee). Interviewee may also ask certain questions and we respond to them, but usually we initiate the interview and collect the information.

 Telephone interviews: this method of collecting information consists in contacting respondents on telephone itself. It is not a very well widely used method but plays important part in surveys. It is more flexible compared to mailing method, faster, cheaper etc. 3. Research on internet, books and journals We will get different information about those epidemic diseases through visiting various web sites in order to read and watching videos about these epidemics diseases, reading books and journals that tell us the situation of these diseases in worldwide. Some of web sites we can visit are: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs094/en/ www.unaids.org www.usaid.org www.who.org

4. Schedules This method looks like a questionnaire method with little difference which lies in the fact that schedules (proforma containing a set of questions) are being filled in by enumerators who are particularly appointed for the purpose. After collecting all the data we have to proceed with the next steps V. Data analysis

The data collected will be analyzed carefully so as to come up with relevant information concerning the progress done from 2005 to 2010 for fighting these 3 epidemics. This will require analyzing these data more careful so that the result will be consistent. VI. The interpretation and report

The data collected and previous findings will be interpreted to test our hypothesis and finally, a final report will be written. While doing this report the following points will be included in our report: in the preliminary pages there will be table of content, table of acronyms, preface,

abstract acknowledgement etc. The other part will be made of introduction, the body, conclusion and recommendation then references, appendices and indexes.
