Русская версияThe international AIDS conference in Mexico City has ended with
calls for better educational and preventative programmes against
the immunodeficiency disease.
The director of the UN Development
Programme's AIDS group Jeffrey O'malley said there is still no
wonder cure in sight. Rising world food prices are an added burden
for people infected with the HIV virus, according to World Vision's
coordinator for Latin America. Ramon Soto says undernourishment
leads to greater problems with medication. Another organisation
Oxfam says the conference failed to deliver a clear plan to provide
treatment for all of the world's 33 million infected. South
Africa's justice minister Edwin Cameron called for an end to
discrimination against AIDs victims. The next international AIDS
conference will be held in Vienna, Austria in 2010.
