EHRN visited the Baltics
29.06.2016

«We learned that in Latvia government support for harm reduction programs was not systemic either.

12.12.2014

Anniversary of the radical advocacy

01.10.2014

There is an urgent need to change our strategy for testing for HIV and hepatitis in Europe. The number of people infected is increasing and many are still not aware that they are infected. The problem is greatest in Southern and Eastern Europe, but it is also an increasing problem in other European countries, and new testing strategies are therefore required. Late diagnosis means a higher mortality rate, greater risk of onward transmission and increased financial costs.

We want it so desperately, so acutely, we can taste it.
