30.12.2004 Poverty and HIV/AIDS are the biggest challenges to Namibia meeting the Millennium Development Goals, Prime Minister Theo-Ben Gurirab has stated. Although the country suffers the 7th highest infection rate in the world, development aid is dropping, due in part to Namibia's classification as a middle-income country. The country has islands of wealth in a sea of poverty.

21.12.2004 This report concludes that women are bearing the brunt of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and strategies to reverse it cannot succeed unless women and girls are empowered.

16.12.2004 Involving people living with HIV and AIDS is critical to the success of prevention programs.

HIV prevention and care must be linked. These are just some of the many lessons AED is sharing from its domestic and international AIDS programs.

15.12.2004 Maailman johtavat julkisen terveyden asiantuntijat ovat koonneet vetoomuksen kansainvälisille avunantajille kehitysmaiden aids-potilaiden ilmaisen hoidon puolesta. Maailman 5,5 miljoonasta hiv-positiivisesta vain 440,000 saa lääkitystä sairauteen. Lääkkeiden hinnat ovat tosin viime aikoina laskeneet, mutta kaikkein köyhimmät avun tarvitsijat putoavat hoidon piiristä potilasmaksujen vuoksi.

La dichiarazione sottolinea il fatto che i farmaci e tutti gli strumenti diagnostici e assistenziali necessari per i sieropositivi devono essere accessibili gratuitamente a tutti i pazienti nei Paesi in via di sviluppo.
