AIDS Awareness Program
Launched
"Detener el Sida.
Mantener la Promesa"
(Stop Aids. Keeping the
promise) is the Costa
Rica's strategy to face
the illness and as is
done in other countries,
aims to raise the
conciousness of the
people.
"Each one of us has to
decide if they are going
to join in the fight,
now, or simply walk
among the victims,
hoping never to become
one", said Costa Rican
president Oscar Arias in
announcing the program.
Arias added that there
is a need for society to
change.
Local radio and
television ads have been
promoting AIDS awareness
in the past week with
the slogan "less
partners, less risk".
The national strategy
commits state
institutions to
strengthen then response
in education, health and
prevention.
