A clarification from Dr. Denis Broun, UNAIDS Country Coordinator

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum members,

I read with great surprise the UNI story, dated June 27, disseminated by

AIDS-India. (Re.Govt accepts UNAIDS' report of 5.7 m HIV/AIDS cases)

The article mentions a dispute between ministers that does not exist

and an imaginary controversy about HIV prevalence figures in India.

I would like to place on record that I have been misquoted in this

article, some of the quotes even putting in my mouth expressions I

never use!

I wish to reassure all the forum members that UNAIDS is part of the

national response and fully supports the government's action against

HIV and take this opportunity to thank all of you for the wealth of

ideas provided by this e_network.

Best regards,

Dr. Denis Broun
