Abstract

In 2001, the problems and hazards of HIV/AIDS have been debated by heads of state and government in WHO conference. They reported the HIV/AIDS status in their countries and explained their related activities. Like other countries, Iranian scientific mission described HIV/AIDS status in our country. Finally, a resolution was issued and requested the members to observe the following points: 1. Consider HIV/AIDS not only as a health concern, but also as a social, economical, and cultural problem. 2. Provide antiretroviral therapy for all sufferers. 3. Eliminate the shame and prejudice associated with HIV/AIDS and consider HIV/AIDS sufferers like other patients.
