New information about HIV/AIDS in the "eHealth" app
On the occasion of the Day of Solidarity with those affected by HIV/AIDS, the Ministry of Health is introducing a specialized section in the "Health Library" of the "eHealth" mobile application. The goal is to provide access to verified information about the virus.
The motto of this year's Day of Solidarity is: "Don't say that! Words leave marks."
The section covers key topics such as:
- Ways the virus is transmitted (and myths about casual contact);
- Locations for free and anonymous testing;
- Modern methods of treatment and quality of life;
- Overcoming prejudices and social stigma.
