Policy to Protect People Living with HIV/AIDS
1 December 2004
By Taneisha Davidson
Jamaica has made some progress in terms of eliminating the stigma and discrimination against person living with HIV/AIDS
"What we want to do is normalise the condition and not single out discrimination against HIV/AIDS when there are other forms of discrimination among other health conditions," Junor told the Observer yesterday.
...At the same time, Prime Minister P J Patterson said yesterday that his Government remained committed to sensitising the public about HIV/AIDS. "The Government remains committed to increasing public awareness about this disease and in identifying affordable drugs and providing the delivery of health care to persons affected by HIV/AIDS," Patterson said.
