"As we know, HIV infections are increasing at an alarming rate in Europe. In 2009, nearly 26 000 new cases were diagnosed and reported by the countries of the European Union and European Economic Area. In the EU’s neighbours, however, more than 160 000 people were infected. These figures show that no slackening in the efforts to combat HIV can be tolerated. It is a pity that the same majority that solemnly acknowledges it, when it is a matter of marking World AIDS Day, turns a blind eye to the investment cuts being made both in prevention and in fighting the disease because of budget cuts.
This is clearly illustrated in Portugal by the decision that has just been announced to close the telephone helpline (
or ‘AIDS Line’), together with a series of other measures threatening the vital efforts being made in the fields of both prevention and treatment. It is important to bear in mind that access to prevention, treatment and support services is very unequal in the various Member States, and therefore it is essential to work towards mitigating such differences by investing the resources needed to ensure equitable access to these services in every country."@en1
