“HIV and AIDS is about sexuality, gender, drug use, violence, men who have sex with men, sexual orientation, trafficking in human beings and many other matters. It is about the full respect for human rights. To move forward on HIV prevention, we must be prepared and dare to address all these matters, with open eyes and open minds, realizing that the fight against HIV will never be won through easy slogans and acronyms.”
Lennarth Hjelmaker, Sweden Special Ambassador on HIV/AIDS
