HIV – an illness multiplied by discrimination

1st of December – World AIDS Day.

Due to this, HIV-positive people have been stigmatized and discriminated. Being afraid of the vulnerable situation, many people do not pass medical inspection and registration and, consequently, do not have the treatment they need.
