The international AIDS conference in Mexico City has ended with
calls for better educational and preventive programmes against the
immunodeficiency disease.
The director of the UN Development
Programme's AIDS group Jeffrey O'Malley warned that no effective
cure was yet in sight. Other groups cautioned that rising food
prices were leading to undernourishment and adding another burden
for people infected with the HIV virus. The humanitarian
organisation Oxfam criticised that the conference had failed to
offer a clear plan to the world's 33 million HIV sufferers. The
next international AIDS conference will be held in Vienna, Austria
in 2010.
