Montreal Adult Entertainment: Awareness v Discrimination: ngos mark World AIDS Day in Armenia

The number of new reported cases in 2007 and 2008 was 109 and 118, respectively. The Republican HIV/AIDS Prevention Center estimates, however, that the number of people with HIV/AIDS in Armenia could be as high as 2,800.
“Real World, Real People” NGO head Hovhannes Madoyan estimates that the number of officially reported cases has increased in the recent period because people leaving for migrant work in Russia are now required to pass a medical test for HIV/AIDS.
“HIV/AIDS treatment is available in Armenia, but its availability for high-risk groups is not provided. I don’t think the motto ‘Availability for all’, by which the world will be guided in the coming year can be translated into action in Armenia,” says Madoyan.
(Prostitutes, intravenous drug users, homosexuals, are traditionally considered to be HIV/AIDS risk groups.)
