2.
By 2005, ensure that at least 90 per cent, and by 2010 at least 95 per cent of
young men and women aged 15 to 24 have access to the information, education,
including peer education and youth-specific HIV education, and services necessary to
develop the life skills required to reduce their vulnerability to HIV infection, in full
partnership with young people, parents, families, educators and health-care providers.
3.
By 2005, develop and make significant progress in implementing
comprehensive care strategies to: strengthen family and community-based care,
including that provided by the informal sector, and health-care systems to provide
and monitor treatment to people living with HIV/AIDS, including infected children,
and to support individuals, households, families and communities affected by
HIV/AIDS; and improve the capacity and working conditions of health-care
personnel, and the effectiveness of supply systems, financing plans and referral
mechanisms required to provide access to affordable medicines, including antiretroviral drugs, diagnostics and related technologies, as well as quality medical,
palliative and psychosocial care.
4.
By 2005, implement measures to increase capacities of women and adolescent
girls to protect themselves from the risk of HIV infection, principally through the
provision of health care and health services, including for sexual and reproductive
health, and through prevention education that promotes gender equality within a
culturally and gender-sensitive framework.
5.
By 2003, develop and/or strengthen strategies, policies and programmes which
recognize the importance of the family in reducing vulnerability, inter alia, in
educating and guiding children and take account of cultural, religious and ethical
factors, to reduce the vulnerability of children and young people by ensuring access
of both girls and boys to primary and secondary education, including HIV/AIDS in
curricula for adolescents; ensuring safe and secure environments, especially for
young girls; expanding good-quality, youth-friendly information and sexual health
education and counselling services; strengthening reproductive and sexual health
programmes; and involving families and young people in planning, implementing
and evaluating HIV/AIDS prevention and care programmes, to the extent possible.
6.
By 2003, develop and begin to implement national strategies that incorporate
HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention, care and treatment elements into programmes or
actions that respond to emergency situations, recognizing that populations
destabilized by armed conflict, humanitarian emergencies and natural disasters,
including refugees, internally displaced persons, and in particular women and
children, are at increased risk of exposure to HIV infection; and, where appropriate,
factor HIV/AIDS components into international assistance programmes.
7.
Ensure non-discrimination and full and equal enjoyment of all human rights
through the promotion of an active and visible policy of de-stigmatization of children
orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS.
8.
Urge the international community to complement and supplement efforts of
developing countries that commit increased national funds to fight the HIV/AIDS
epidemic through increased international development assistance, particularly those
countries most affected by HIV/AIDS, particularly in Africa, especially in subSaharan Africa, the Caribbean, countries at high risk of expansion of the HIV/AIDS
epidemic and other affected regions whose resources to deal with the epidemic are
seriously limited.
