City, Australia team up to combat HIV/AIDS

JAKARTA: Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo and Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Bill Farmer signed Thursday a memorandum of understanding for joint efforts to expand services for those at high risk of being infected with HIV.

The services will be provided at 30 health centers across the capital.

"As we improve our program to reach out to those living with HIV/AIDS, we found the figure soared this year," Fauzi said at City Hall.

The administration revealed the number of people living with HIV/AIDS rose to 4,467 as of January this year, up from 700 cases in 2000. -JP
