A Plan to Fight against AIDS

Despite huge medical advances in the field, it should be noted that AIDS is an incurable disease against which it must bear the greatest attention. In this sense, your mutual health will not hesitate to give you all the information inherent in this problem both preventive and curative. Also on the occasion of World Day of fight against AIDS to be held tomorrow, the Minister of Labor, Employment and Health conducted an intervention noticed and made public through the Council of Ministers. Indeed, he presented a paper on the national plan against HIV and STIs for 2010-2014. But Xavier Bertrand said the improved screening is a priority of this plan, and has two aspects:

- Incentives for screening the general population are the objective of the campaign that the National Institute of prevention and health education will hire this year.

- Intensification of targeted screening of populations at greatest risk, particularly through the rapid test diagnostic orientation being tested.

Therefore, it behooves us to stress the relevance of the commitment of large-scale plan to the extent that nearly 144 000 people living with HIV in France and 40 000 to 50 000 of them have contracted the virus without knowledge. However, such a plan should be developed in close collaboration with the Social Security but also the mutual health. Indeed, the mutual health signed by a person with HIV plays a fundamental role both financially and morally. Thus despite the high levels of reimbursement under the compulsory scheme for AIDS, mutual health is important because it accounts for all expenditures that are induced not necessarily considered by Social Security. Therefore the purchase of a mutual health in the event very unfortunate contraction of the AIDS virus is really necessary.
