Type:RecommendationSession:2nd session, May 2008Status:AcceptedContents:To continue to take further action to combat the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among children and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS by providing adequate treatment and informationImplementationNational Report:
Para 43) Concerning persons living with HIV/AIDS and given also recommendation 9, in addition to the aspects presented within the mid-term report, we underline that people newly diagnosed with HIV infection are clinically and laboratory evaluated, based on ECDC/WHO criteria, and included in the antiretroviral therapy. Efforts are made in order to avoid therapy discontinuity and patient drop-out.
Para 47) During 10-12 November 2010, the project "Am I different? I am talented!" was held in Bucharest within the Hospital for Infectious Diseases "Victor Babes" and it aimed to promote the principles of equal opportunities and non-discrimination and the rights of the HIV-positive youngster/children. The overall objective of the project was to inform 60 children, youngsters and the personnel of the hospital regarding the principle of equal opportunities, elements to prevent and combat discrimination and promote the knowledge and understanding by youngsters, doctors, nurses, psychologists of the right of not being discriminated, of child's rights, of certain situations which constitute discrimination deeds.
UN Compilation:
Para 52) CRC was concerned that the proportion of young people, including adolescents, among those recently diagnosed with HIV/AIDS was high and that children affected by HIV/AIDS often experienced barriers in accessing health services. UNICEF reported that the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV increased in 2010 due to the fact that one third of HIV-positive mothers were not receiving either treatment or preventive care during pregnancy.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 12) JS2 reported about discrimination against and segregation of women living with HIV in hospitals and cases of breach of confidentiality of patients' HIV positive status by medical personnel. JS2 highlighted the denial or hindrance of access to medical assistance during childbirth for women living with HIV and failure by some healthcare providers to take special measures to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child. The occurrences of refusal of gynecological consultations, post-abortion health care or the performance of abortion to women with HIV positive status by public health care resulted in cases of patients not treating their diseases, resorting to self-medication or unsafe abortion or not declaring their HIV status when accessing health care services. JS1 recommended that Romania raise public awareness to combat all forms of discrimination against people living with HIV / AIDS, primarily addressing the communities in rural areas.
