The Prime Minister has recorded a video message to mark World AIDS Day 2009.

In his message he pays tribute to activists all over the world who have refused to give up in the face of HIV and AIDS.

He also said that the Government is committed to increasing HIV testing and tackling the stigma that persists.

He said:

“Over the last ten years, we have invested nearly three million pounds in targeted domestic prevention work and Britain has some of the best treatment and care services in the world.

“But there is no room for complacency. More than a quarter of people with HIV don’t know they have it because they haven’t been tested. And people living with HIV still often face prejudice.”
