Abstract

Developing countries are currently facing a double burden of communicable diseases, like HIV/AIDS, and chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As HIV/AIDS has already turned out to be a chronic disease, the approaches of responses to HIV/AIDS and NCDs have several essential similarities. These similarities can be the basis for integrated and comprehensive chronic disease responses. Effective integrated responses to HIV/AIDS and NCDs require integrated policies. This review paper sheds light on the major concepts, rationale, approaches, challenges and evaluation criteria for the integration of HIV/AIDS and NCDs policies in the context of developing countries.
