- HIV and AIDS
Type:Review DocumentationSession:2nd session, May 2008Status:NeglectedContents:In 2003 CRC remained concerned at the incidence of HIV/AIDS among young children; the high rate of new infections affecting young people, particularly among minorities; and the fact that treatment, although free, is provided only to a limited number of children and may lack continuity due to funding limitations. In 2004, the Special Rapporteur on the right to health noted that Romania had one of the highest prevalence rates of HIV and AIDS in Central Europe and the largest number of children living with HIV in Europe. While acknowledging that in recent years, the Government has led a dynamic campaign to provide treatment and care for people living with HIV and AIDS, and that in some ways, Romania's approach to HIV/AIDS treatment and care is a model, he made several recommendations regarding addressing HIV prevention as well as gender inequalities, stigma and discrimination. In 2006, the Special Rapporteur on the right to health and the Special Rapporteur on the right to education stressed continuing widespread discrimination against children and young people living with HIV/AIDS being denied adequate medical care, to which the Government provided a detailed response setting forth the legal framework and the measures taken [Para 31; SR on the right to health, CRC] -
