On World AIDS Day 2009, the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+) is highlighting and calling for continuing support for the leadership of people living with HIV in the HIV response. In 2009 we have seen tremendous achievements showing the Greater Involvement of People living with HIV (GIPA) in action. However, research shows barriers remain for people living with HIV to access services and be meaningfully involved in the development of the HIV response.

Time for positive action in Uganda: Stop discriminatory anti-homosexuality bill |
|
|
|
|
Friday, 23 October 2009 |
|
The Ugandan Government should show leadership on HIV prevention and the protection of human rights by rejecting the anti-homosexuality bill which has been tabled in the Ugandan parliament. Acknowledging the existence of gay and lesbian people in Uganda, and providing supportive measures to assist men and women in same sex relationships to make informed choices in their sexual health is the only responsible way forward in the HIV prevention, urge the AIDS and Rights Alliance for Southern Africa (ARASA), the AIDS Law Project, South Africa (ALP), the Global Network of People living with HIV (GNP+) and the International Network of Religious Leaders living with and affected by HIV (INERELA+).
