Volunteers from the AIDS Care NGO Forum offer information to visitors of Car Free Day about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) on Sunday (25/11/2018). The campaign, held for the commemoration of World AIDS Day, aims to raise awareness about the disease.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Many have limited understanding on HIV/AIDS transmission, leading to the widespread stigmatization and rejection of people living with AIDS. Massive education and information dissemination is required by all relevant social, education and health agencies.

Proper education on HIV/AIDS transmission is key to removing public stigmas. One example is that the illness cannot spread through physical contact (including hugging), mosquito bites and swimming in the same pool.
