UN Children’s agency in Vienna to focus on the children and the social exclusion and stigma of HIV and AIDS

UNICEF announced the agency’s participation in the 2010 XVIII International AIDS Conference in Vienna in July.

UNICEF’s Executive Director Tony Lake will launch a groundbreaking report on the social exclusion of children and young people affected by HIV and AIDS in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The report highlights underlying causes of the epidemic that are unique to the region, including the complex challenges that make youth vulnerable to HIV or early death due to drug use and other diseases.

Later that day, Lake will take part in a roundtable discussion on bottlenecks in the delivery of pediatric AIDS medications, together with the Global Fund’s Michel Kazatchkine and the Global AIDS Alliance.
