Dealing with HIV in Europe

WHO, in partnership with the European Centre for Disease prevention and Control, started conducting the HIV/AIDS surveillance program from 2008. It found that the number of infected were increased from 42 per million in 2000, to 56 per million in 2008. But a number of organizations work for the cause to prevent and terminate the wrath of HIV in Europe.

HIV Europe is the biggest body in Europe that works for the betterment of the people living with AIDS. It is an informal advisory board, which enables many NGOs to come together and work for this noble cause. The body provides platform for the patients to share their experiences and stories with the world and thus in a way contribute in the reduction of the growth of the disease. It was founded in June 2005 at Copenhagen. It also works for the health of the patients, improve their quality of life, dismal the social stigma and castration associated with HIV in Europe. It provides employment for the patients and encourages a healthy social and geographical mobility for them.
