The trauma of war followed by the misery of exile is not the only sad destiny of a refugee. Most of the time they stay in parts of the world affected by HIV/AIDS. In many cases the blame of spreading HIV is put on refugees. The saddest thing is, nevertheless, the fact that refugees infected with HIV are excluded from multi-million dollar HIV/AIDS programmes.
UNHCR promotes and supports the development of JIV programmes to ensure universal access to HIV prevention and treatment, care and support programmes. This agency is called UNAIDS focusing primarily on refugees and internally displaced people.
