December 1 Day commemorating the World Day of AIDS , where we remember those who have been affected by this pandemic , and those who are absent, and make a call on the current situation in our country. Today we have a very different picture from years ago, where despair has now become an expectation and desire of life. But this has not enabled this disease be let over a thousand people a year in our country, and produced nearly three thousand new diagnoses each year.
Worldwide there are 33 million people living with HIV and AIDS, with over 50% women aged 15 to 49 years. These figures demonstrate the feminization of the pandemic, women require special attention. Note that this phenomenon is not confined only to developing countries.
just one year are more than 2.7 million new infections and two million people die from this cause. In sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 70% of these deaths, but in Eastern Europe and Asia have, today, the fastest growth.
45% of new HIV infections affect young people between 15 and 24, and not being able to diminish, but increases the transmission from mothers to children although there are tools to control this transmission .
Today we are faced with potential developments which mark a hopeful future in cancer treatments, but there are still people for whom these new opportunities are almost inaccessible, either because the evolution of the disease has generated a significant physical impairment or in a situation of exclusion and social marginalization hinders them equal access. witnessing great progress in pharmacological theory allows people living with HIV and AIDS develop their lives and enable their full integration into society, but unfortunately find themselves in a tense climate where prejudice, stigma and discrimination associated with HIV undermine their chances of access to full citizenship.
Today we remember that continues to assist settled violation of fundamental rights of people affected by HIV and AIDS, which sometimes breaks the opportunity to access basic social rights such as social services, health, educational, labor, and leisure participation and as equal access to housing or purchase insurance for the simple fact of living with HIV pathology that is still attached to behaviors not well seen or outside of the normally established.
It is therefore necessary to consider the precise and prevention policies and actions to be developed from a holistic sense, where you contemplate differences of each person. Being a transsexual or homosexual, be deprived of liberty, as a person dependent on drugs or prostitution; be on the threshold of poverty or a woman, to concentrate on those people more vulnerable, since this gives them a double discrimination where their rights are measured by their social or personal. 
"never get to make a difference if we consider AIDS in isolation," said Michel Sidibe during his first meeting as Executive Director of UNAIDS in Geneva. Work experience gained during these years we can say that the promotion and protection of human rights are a key factor in preventing HIV transmission and reduce the effects of AIDS, being necessary to protect the dignity of people affected and to achieve public health goals mainly consisting of reducing vulnerability to HIV infection and mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic on the social, family and work. Human rights and public health share the common goal of promoting and protecting the health and welfare of the people by ensuring access to equal services, information, education and training and knowledge of their rights. Therefore, the UNAIDS theme this year is Universal Access and Human Rights. From 
entities that make up the citizen's movement working in the field of HIV / AIDS believe that society has to make a difference, but a change driven by women and men, from groups, from the media and those with political responsibility. The actions taken from each of these sectors can feed back and enrich each other, and from the synergy generated relations of peace, mutual understanding and respect for differences, so that these in turn influence the collective gaining access to greater levels of respect, involvement and commitment.

appreciate that the role of media is essential and continuing involvement is essential to help get our message globally, with a dimension linked to the enjoyment of social rights.
For this reason, this change necessary and a priority value has to be aimed to respect, healthy dialogue and tolerance towards greater involvement as part of the solution of a problem, a joint commitment basis from knowledge of a reality ever more palpable and near those most disadvantaged sectors where HIV / AIDS act with greater virulence. After nearly 30 years of death, pain and suffering we must continue to act decisively with keys more comprehensive and humane. We demand equal treatment where discrimination has no place and will not continue breaking the Rights of Persons affected.
For us it is essential to an inclusive and cohesive society, that enables an awareness of where everyone forward.
