Spain is to give 10.2 million Euro to ONUSIDA which funds the international search for a vaccine.
Spain is to give 10.2 million € to ONUSIDA to help in the fight against Aids. The number was given by the Deputy Prime Minister, María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, at the start of the World Summit against Aids in Mexico, and it makes Spain one of the countries to give the most to the fight against HIV.

She said that the illness was not just a health problem, but also one of development, social justice and equality.

Speaking at the conference today, the Spanish Minister for Health, Bernat Soria, said that the Government’s plan against Aids has worked. He said that data supported their strategy of prevention with the number of cases falling, although the infection rate, he noted, was not known.
