Re: [pronut-hiv] New UNAIDS official terminology (1)

["Jecinter oketch" <jessieoketch@yahoo.com>]

  Thanks for this new updates. I know there have been a lot of discussions on the use of the term HIV/AIDS to mean HIV and or AIDS. Please could someone explain for me the main reason of the paradigm shift of these terminologies. It would help explain further to other service providers and internalize the real meaning of the new terminologies. Thanks
