AIDS/HIV
The end of the civil war and the democratization paved the way for NGO's and private citizens to campaign for AIDS-HIV education. Yet, since the 1990s, people working for such groups, most notably The Oscar Romero AIDS Project, have faced harassment and death threats.
Since 2005, a national policy on AIDS-HIV has been developed and it has gradually gotten the support of major politicians. In 2009, a national health plan to stop the spread of AIDS-HIV included a prohibition on sexual orientation based discrimination in health care.

Famous quotes containing the word aids:
“Manners aim to facilitate life, to get rid of impediments, and bring the man pure to energize. They aid our dealing and conversation, as a railway aids travelling, by getting rid of all avoidable obstructions of the road, and leaving nothing to be conquered but pure space.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
