European Union Warns That HIV Cases on the Increase in Europe
December 16, 2005 The European Union is launching a three-year AIDS campaign to promote safe sex and the use of sterile needles and to prevent mother-to-child infection. "We must not lose sight of the fact that HIV/AIDS is still one of the biggest preventable killers worldwide," said Markos Kyprianou, the EU's health commissioner. With a special focus on affordable therapies and diagnostics, the effort will seek to increase HIV/AIDS monitoring, treatment, and research. The monitoring group EuroHIV says new HIV cases in the 20 EU countries were up by 23 percent in the past four years. Britain saw the biggest jump: a 69 percent increase in new cases.
