Those eligible for the treatment include gay or bisexual men, transgender people and those with HIV positive partners who are not successfully receiving treatment.

Finally, I would like to refer to the programme entitled Brazil without homophobia , our national programme to combat violence and discrimination against gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual persons, as well as to promote citizenship among homosexuals.

The programme outlines actions to strengthen public and non governmental institutions involved in promoting citizenship among homosexuals and combating homophobia, build capacity among professionals and representatives of the homosexual movement active in the promotion of human rights, disseminate information on rights and the promotion of self esteem among homosexuals and promote the filing of complaints on violations of the human rights of gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual persons.
