Stop AIDS: Keep the Promise “Universal Access and Human Rights”
WORLD AIDS DAY On Right Track
Given a guarantee to basic human rights and regular availability of medicines for people living with HIV, it is possible to stabilize the HIV epidemic. This is what the recently released UNAIDS Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic reveals. The report shows that the total number of people living with HIV is stabilizing worldwide. Despite continuous political instability and frequent changes in the governments, Nepal has also achieved a major progress in stabilizing HIV infections. Interestingly, Nepal has also succeeded in decreasing new HIV infections by more than 25% over the last one decade. As the World’s AIDS Day was celebrated on December 1, fundamental rights of people living with HIV and their access to medicines remain a challenge for Nepal towards meeting UNAIDS’ vision: Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS-related deaths. With the slogan of Stop AIDS: Keep the Promises, Universal Access and Human Rights, the World AIDS day has celebrated in Nepal.

They cover events from early 2002 till February this year and hopefully will cover the Kangressi infighting between the Girijangress and Deupangress factions that led to their dissolving the discredited Third Parliament.
