Nordic FPAs call for further action against HIV on World Aids Day

Stockholm, Helsinki - Family planning associations in Sweden and Finland have called for better prevention of new HIV infections and support to people living with HIV/AIDS.

The Secretary-General of Swedish RFSU, Ms. Åsa Regnér, said in her statement that while more donor support for HIV treatment is important, resources for HIV prevention should not be reduced because of economic, ideological or religious reasons.

The Family Federation of Finland called for shared responsibility from both government officials and various organizations, as well as from individuals, to stop the AIDS epidemic.
