World Aids Day: AIDS Aid Vienna demands stronger health measures

on World Aids Day, AIDS Aid Vienna has directed an urgent appeal to the upcoming government. The organization urgently calls for more commitment to the prevention of HIV, more comprehensive reconnaissance campaigns and improved test offers for the population. The day celebrated every year on December 1st reminds you of how important it is to deal with the topic of AIDS and HIV.

The AIDS help Vienna emphasizes that despite the progress in the treatment of HIV infections, many people are still insufficiently informed about their risks and opportunities for prevention. Younger people and risk groups in particular are the focus of the organization, which demands a proactive approach.

The main focus is on the need to improve access to test offers. Many people are afraid to have a test carried out, which is often due to stigmatization and lack of knowledge of the disease.

Another point that AIDS help Vienna emphasizes is the importance of comprehensive educational programs. These should not only take place in schools, but should also be better communicated in public in order to reduce misunderstandings and prejudices. The organization demands that the government increase the financial resources in order to offer such programs sustainably.

"We have to strengthen the awareness of people and give them the necessary information to protect themselves and to contain the spread of HIV," said a spokesman for AIDS help Vienna. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the reduction of the new infections is not only a question of health, but also a social responsibility.
