About 21% of 2,577 patients suffer from pulmonary tuberculosis characterised by TB/HIV 11 co-infection. Confronted with this situation, a collaboration plan between national control programmes has been developed and implemented. 213. Civil society organisations involved in the HIV response, judges, traditional chiefs and prefects have been trained and sensitised on the Law on the protection of persons living with HIV/AIDS and on issues of discrimination and stigmatisation8. 214. In this regard, the current National HIV and AIDS Control Programme of Togo, “Vision 2020” of 2012 sets out four guidelines: - Respect equity and equality of access of the population to prevention, care, treatment and support services; - Combat discrimination and stigmatisation in the Togolese society; - Reinforce laws and policies on the protection of people living with HIV; - Protect marginalised groups and sexual minorities.9 215. This policy was implemented through the adoption of some strategies, particularly, the national universal access strategy to services relating to treatment, care and support services and the national strategy for scaling-up services on prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Togo. 216. Based on this, the implementation of interventions in prevention of mother-tochild transmission from 2012 to 2015 achieved significant progress in terms of 8 National HIV/AIDS Control Policy at Workplaces, 2005 HIV and AIDS Control Policy in Togo “Vision 2020”, 2012 9National 66
