Socialists remind that it is necessary to raise awareness and act in the face of the global epidemic caused by HIV infection and that they will continue to demand the repeal of RD 16/2012 Law, the recovery of the right to health protection and health care as a right of citizenship.

Finally, they recognize the courage and determination of people living with HIV who, day by day, demand and claim their rights, getting that, around 20.9 million people, could have access to these vital medicines.
