Abstract: | UNAIDS executive director Peter Piot called for the United States to do more to support HIV prevention efforts internationally. Speaking at the United States Conference on AIDS, he said that U.S. groups will need to offer more technical assistance and advice to community-based organizations around the world if they ever hope to manage the epidemic. UNAIDS will issue model legislation which other countries can use to pattern their own anti-discrimination laws. Health Canada recently published a guide in which ways that community-based organizations in industrialized countries can assist their counterparts in the developing world are outlined. Information is included for ordering the guide. |
