Joint press release with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Cresent Societies.

Health workers urged to stop discriminating against people with HIV/AIDS. Discrimination by doctors and nurses is undermining efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in the Asia-Pacific region, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the Global Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS said today.

A new study by the Asia Pacific Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (APN+) found discriminatory policies and behaviour from hospitals and their staff.
