Strengthening Services
As a reproductive health issue, HIV/AIDS is an integral part of
UNPFA’s Sixth Country Programme (CP6). A total of 10% of UNFPA’s
budget is allocated to HIV/Aids activities. Guidelines on mother-to-child
transmission and HIV testing are included into the National Guidelines
for RH services.
UNFPA has played an important role in the provision of condoms.
UNFPA conducted operation research on social marketing, utilization,
and projection of condoms. Based on these studies, UNFPA assisted
VCFPC to formulate a national strategy on social marketing for condoms.
- Targeting Youth
HIV/AIDS is a component of the adolescent reproductive health (ARH)
curriculum developed with the Ministry of Education and Training
(MOET). In-school youth are being reached through this project.
Out-of-school youth are being reached by activities conducted by
the Youth Union.
In addition, the youth are receiving information and services on
HIV/AIDS through the youth friendly centers of the EC/UNFPA Reproductive
Health Initiative for Youth in Asia (RHIYA) project. HIV/AIDS information
is distributed through campaigns for youth and providers at special
youth friendly services. Next the YFC component, the project has
a policy component, to create an enabling environment among policy
makers in Vietnam.
- Reducing Stigma and Discrimination
With support from UNAIDS, advocacy on the reduction on stigma and
discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs) was
integrated into UNFPA projects by the Parliament, Ho Chi Minh Academy,
Women’s Union, and Vietnam Fatherland Front. By advocacy activities
through the Women’s Union, Fatherland’s Front and provincial officials,
the project aims at increasing national-level awareness of stigma
and discrimination against PLWHAs through workshops for members
of the Parliament Committee for Social Affairs, political propagandists
and other parliamentarians. To support the advocacy efforts, an
advocacy package on reducing HIV/AIDS related stigma has been developed.
