PWHA (or in full People with HIV/AIDS) have basic human rights too. We must not discriminate against these people. Let us show our concern to them.

About 200 young people participating in the 'AIDS I Care Party' on the World AIDS Day today (Wednesday) learned more about AIDS through interactive games and exchange of views.
The Party was organised by the Hong Kong Advisory Council on AIDS, Red Ribbon Centre-UNAIDS Collaborating Centre for Technical Support and CABLE TV to tie in with this year's World AIDS Campaign theme - Listen, Learn, Live! World AIDS Campaign with Children and Young People.
Popular artiste Miss Miriam Yeung, Hong Kong UNAIDS Ambassador, was presented a trophy by Ms Wong for her participation. Miss Yeung urged participants not to discriminate against HIV-infected/AIDS patients.
