Fighting Aids
The Arias Administration
announced a national
policy aimed at
educating the population
of Costa Rica to fend
off the HIV and AIDS.
The program is to be
effective from 2008
through 2010, and it
involves state
institutions in the
planning of actions in
education, health care,
promotion of healthy
living trends, and the
mitigation of the impact
of the infection,
according to the
Ministry of the
Presidency.
It is estimated that
some 12,000 people live
with the virus in Costa
Rica, and that one third
of them are women. |
