Plenary session - 2 December 2022
Ladies and gentlemen,
Yesterday, 1 December, the House of Representatives building was lit up in red to mark World AIDS Day, which was established in the late 1980s by the World Health Organization. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is an infectious disease caused by the HIV virus, which survives in the environment outside the human body for very little time and is transmitted through blood, unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing a syringe or from mother to newborn. AIDS information and awareness is essential for the acceptance of HIV-positive people and their smooth coexistence in society.
As Parliament we look forward to a dignified life for all our fellow human beings suffering from AIDS, relieving them as much as possible from the feeling of suffering and at the same time eliminating any kind of discrimination they may experience. We also support every effort made by the medical community to find a preventive vaccine and an effective cure for the disease.
