Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

HIV Incidence in Ireland: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Niall Mulligan:

It has a different impact. The figures are still increasing. Another response was to make needle syringe programmes more available.

Deputy Ó Caoláin's second question was on health care settings and stigma. Mr. Brady answered it, so I do not need to, but I will reiterate his statement that this comes down to education, raising awareness and attitudes. This is a wider issue than just health care settings. There is an organisation called Positive Now.
