In his speech, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc highlighted the active contribution made by relevant ministries, agencies, social organisations and mass media in the campaign against HIV/AIDs in Vietnam.
He confirmed that a system of legal documents have now been issued to effectively implement the national strategy on HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control until 2020 with a vision for 2030.
Localities are also encouraged to increase human resources aimed at preventing HIV/AIDs,over the next few years when international aid is likely to reduce and the government budget will remain limited.
In addition, it is crucial society as a whole reduces discrimination of HIV/AIDS infected people and improves access to support services aiming to prevent and treat the HIV/AIDS infection.
Since the first HIV case was detected in Vietnam in 1990, Vietnam has achieved remarkable results in HIV/AIDS prevention activities.
Vietnam has managed to contain the rate of HIV/AIDS at below 0.3% in the community.
