In the last 30 years, since the first cases of HIV were discovered, we\u2019ve\u00a0travelled a\u00a0huge\u00a0distance\u00a0in terms of research and treatment.\u00a0Not least because advances in medication now mean that, if diagnosed and treated early enough, people living with HIV can live just as long as people without it.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK we\u2019re\u00a0committed to tackling the global impacts of this disease \u2013\u00a0the ambition has to be\u00a0a future with zero new infections and AIDS-related deaths. That\u2019s why last year we invested \u00a31 billion in the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria. This money is helping hundreds of thousands of people around the world get lifesaving treatment.<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, there is still a long way to go. And\u00a0while the science has moved on, too many people\u2019s attitudes have not. One in 3 people living with HIV say that they have experienced discrimination, because of their condition. That\u2019s simply unacceptable. So, this World AIDS Day, please visit\u00a0<a rel=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hivaware.org.uk\/\">HIVaware.org.uk<\/a>\u00a0to get the facts about HIV and tell the people you know.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s critical that people have the right information, and that the next generation \u2013 through good sex education \u2013 understand the facts. Together, by wearing your red ribbon and tweeting your support using the hashtag <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23putaribbononit&amp;src=typd\">#PutARibbonOnIt<\/a> we can help break down the stigma that still surrounds this condition and show that there\u2019s just no place for this kind of discrimination in modern Britain. So please get involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">Today, let\u2019s all do our bit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch a video message from the Deputy Prime Minister to mark World AIDS Day 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50920"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50920\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
