A nationwide network to support people infected with HIV and people with full-blown AIDS has been established by Hiroshi Hasegawa, who is HIV-positive.
The Japanese Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (JaNP+) will help people suffering from HIV and AIDS receive medical treatment and will take on the deep-rooted prejudice and discrimination they face, Hasegawa said earlier this week.
"We want to give information to as many people infected with HIV as possible because they have lives to lead," Hasegawa said.
