AIDS test in a pharmacy: With a new national program, the Federal Council wants to ensure that there are no more infections with the HIV virus and hepatitis B and C by 2030.

This goal is in line with that of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Federal Council wrote on Wednesday. Hepatitis B and C are new additions to the prevention program. The first national program against HIV was launched in 1987.

The Naps program is intended to specifically target people who are at increased risk of such infections. Everyone, especially young people, should be made aware of the risks associated with these diseases and learn how to protect themselves.

The programs also offer simple and accessible testing offers. In addition, from July 1, 2024, health insurers will reimburse the costs of pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis for people at increased risk. (SDA)
