New EU communication on HIV/AIDS in September

The European Aids Treatment Group (EATG) had in late May their general assembly and elected a new board of Directors. EATG works a in a different way compared to most pan-european patient associations. It is a European network of nationally-based activists defending the treatment-related interests of people living with HIV and AIDS.

They have their work cut out for them since in September the EU Communication on combating HIV/AIDS in the EU and neighbourhood - strategy and second action plan (2010-2014) is supposed to be adopted after a consultation process now in July. More info on that work here. The Communication replaces the 2006-2009 one you find by clicking here.

I hope this can give some new attention to HIV. It is still a disease you die from - it just takes longer than before. And not that long if you live in one of the countries where HIV treatment is not a priority. But what countries that is I cannot tell you and that is because when the World Bank did a measuring and ranking of for example quality of treatments in various countries it in the end was not made public...

Wolfgang Philipp is the person to contact at DG Sanco. If you want to contact EATG Anna Zakowicz from Lithuania is the new Chair with Luis Mendao from Portugal as vice Chair then Thandi Haruperi from the UK is Secretary, Stefan Stojanovic from Macedonia is Treasurer and Alain Volny Anne from France is Director. Acting executive director is Smiljka de Lussigny.

  1. EATG calls for more research and funding for prevention

    Brussels, Belgium June 01, 2009 The European AIDS Treatment Group (EATG) released today a comprehensive policy paper on HIV and AIDS prevention.

    As a pan-European organisation of people living with HIV, EATG has been championing the concept of prevention, especially 'positive prevention' for years. Positive prevention entails the active involvement and leadership of people living with HIV and AIDS in prevention work.

    EATG chair, Anna Zakowicz, states: Universal access to HIV prevention as well as treatment is necessary if we are to control the HIV epidemic globally and in Europe. No single prevention intervention is ever likely to stop the epidemic by itself and EATG therefore demands a comprehensive response involving social, behavioural, biomedical and structural interventions.

    People therefore need a varied package of prevention interventions which should include access to condoms (male and female) and access to sterile injecting equipment and opiod substitution therapy in all settings including prisons, information on HIV, behavioural support and interventions, and social support. EATG emphasises that it is important not to base HIV prevention and risk decisions on assumptions about the HIV status of partners and recommends continued awareness-raising of this point.

    In addition, EATG urges more scientific research, and more funding allocation for research, into behaviour change and support programmes to populations living in Europe, especially marginalised and invisible groups. EATG supports continued research into new biomedical methods of prevention such as microbicides, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), prophylaxis against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and vaccines.

    EATG considers that the HIV prevention needs of people already living with the virus have been neglected. Targeting HIV-positive people for prevention help and support is an equitable and cost-effective way of preventing HIV. EATG supports methods and technologies, which help to prevent HIV transmission between serodiscordant partners who have a desire for childbirth.

    EATG supports initiatives to increase the proportion of people with HIV who are aware of their status. EATG advocates for counselling for every pregnant woman and encouragement and offer of voluntary HIV testing. It is also important to combat social, legal and cultural barriers against testing and disclosure, in particular the criminal prosecution of HIV transmission and exposure.

    About the EATG:

    The EATGs mission is to achieve the fastest possible access to state of the art medical products, devices and diagnostic tests that prevent or treat HIV infection or improve the quality of life of people living with HIV, or who are at risk of HIV infection.

  4. I can’t believe this. A great testimony that i must share to all HIV patient in the world i never believed that there could be any complete cure for HIV or any cure for HIV,i saw people’s testimony on blog sites of how DR Bello prepare herbal cure and brought them back to life again. i had to try it too. and you can,t believe that in just 7 days i started using his herbal medicine. and all my pains stop gradually and i had to leave without the antiretroviral therapy which my medical doctor gave to me. i went to the hospital to do a checkup, the result came out and i tested HIV NEGATIVE. I'm sharing this with you, because i believe there's someone out here who also desire to have this cure. feel free and contact Dr Bello, delay in treatment leads to death. contact him through his WHATS-APP NUMBER +2348147271779, or contact him via email: bellospelltemple@gmail.com,Good luck
