$20 Million AIDS Grant For Vietnam
Josephine Roque - All Headline News Staff Writer Manila (AHN) - Vietnam will receive a 20 million-dollar from Asian Development Bank (ADB). It will aim to combat the propagation of AIDS among the young. The information campaign would "boost access and use of condoms and knowledge of HIV/AIDS among youth, and fight dangerous practices such as needle sharing among drug users," said Lisa Studdert, a Vietnam-based ADB health specialist, as quoted by AFP. A feature of the program will have Hanoi's population commission to produce a television drama series over three years that would also enlist sports and entertainment personalities to influence youth behavior, according to an ADB statement.
