"The number of people living with HIV/AIDS is steadily rising, with estimates showing that 33.4 million people are infected with HIV/AIDS worldwide, including no fewer than 2.7 million who were infected in 2008.
I believe that both the European Commission and Council must step up their efforts to tackle the issue of HIV/AIDS as a global public health priority, with a key focus on human rights in the prevention and treatment of this disease and in the provision of care and assistance to those who are affected. Both these institutions must encourage the countries which are worst affected by the HIV/AIDS virus to establish coordinated national policy frameworks for combating HIV, which will guarantee effective measures for preventing HIV and for caring for people if they become ill with the disease.
The European Commission, Member States and the international community must adopt as quickly as possible the legislation which will guarantee access to effective, affordable medicines for treating the HIV virus, to diagnostic services, and to the technologies supporting preventive, curative and palliative care for the HIV infection."@en1
