What do you do against HIV / AIDS?

On 1 December 2010 will mark 29 years of the first diagnosed case of AIDS and 22 years of the Programme Joint United Nations Programme on HIV / AIDS (unused) proposes commemorate "World Day against HIV / AIDS."

Despite the efforts of world governments, has not been sufficient and the epidemic continues. Recorded daily 14.000 new infections, and 6 people die every minute. Now speak of "risk groups" is to bring the epidemic, as are the actions that put us at "risk", so that men and women of all ages are susceptible to infection.

Of the cases diagnosed in men last year, 49.4% were related to heterosexual transmission, transmission 21.3% 26.4% bisexual and homosexual transmission. The 2009 UNAIDS report referred to 33. 4 million children and adults as in the world living with HIV, of whom 2.7 million are new cases a year.

addition to the damage that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes in the body, add the abuse and discrimination people living with HIV for public officials and health personnel as which exacerbates the situation by denying or impeding access to medical services efficiently with all the advances that science has developed health.

The latest National Survey on Discrimination reported that 44% of Mexicans would not be willing to live at home with someone infected, 18% never engage a patient in your company and 16% would change their child from school if she knew that the school is a child with AIDS. For patients infected with HIV death is nothing compared to this discrimination, social isolation because this is a living death.

discriminatory policies and practices by action, such as the prohibition to donate blood to the bisexual, gay, with tattoos as being of "risk groups", or omission as lack of enforcement, when in our country is required or ELISA test is applied without knowledge and therefore without the consent of the person, result in the denial to the people access to information, support and services necessary to make informed decisions and reduce their vulnerability and the risk of infection.

All persons, including those living with HIV and AIDS, we are entitled to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health. As with all other rights, non-discrimination is at the center of the "right to health."

Amnesty International defends the rights of people living with HIV / AIDS:

- Performing campaigning to ensure the physical integrity and security of those infected.

- Working for detained persons living with HIV / AIDS have access to medical care and information.

- Working to protect people at risk of becoming infected with HIV as a result of discrimination or violence (including sexual violence).

- Performing campaigning on the right to health, which includes, among other things, that the appropriate bodies available to people living with HIV medical services, accessible, acceptable and quality.
