According to professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and co-president of the Washington conference, Diane Havlir, "we can not even start talking about ending AIDS as such an important part of the impact of the epidemic continues to affect so strongly women, "he said.
Diane Havlir reminded that the practice of unprotected sex is still frequent. She said in many countries, the culture of unprotected sex is common, as well as sexual abuse.
