same report, the number of persons living with HIV is estimated at 120 000 people, including 56 000 women and 17 000 children below the age of 15 years. 277. Several national texts govern the fight against HIV/AIDS in Burkina Faso. The following can specifically be mentioned : - - - Law No. 049-2005 AN of 21 December 2005 on Reproductive Health. Article 14 of this Law states that any person suffering from a sexually transmissible infection (STI) and a HumanImmune Deficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) in particular, must enjoy civil, political and social rights without any discrimination ; Law No. 030-2008/AN on the fight against HIV/AIDS and protection of the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS. Articles 3, 4,5 and 6 of this law lays down measures for the education and prevention of HIV infection amongst the general population and specific groups ; Decree No. 2010-744/PRES/PM/MS on the implementation modalities of Law No. 0302008/AN on the fight against HIV/AIDS and protection of the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS. 278. In the area of work , Article 38 of Law No. 28-2008/AN of 13 May 2008 on the Labour Code makes it mandatory for employers not to discriminate in any form regarding access to employment, keeping employees in employment or dismissal, particularly in relation to the people infected with HIV, whether real or perceived. 279. Moreover, in 2001, the government adopted three strategic frameworks for the fight against HIV/AIDS and STIs, the last of which covers the period 2011-2015. The goals pursued under these frameworks, among others, include the contribution to the reduction of HIV transmission, strengthening medical and community care for persons screened as positive, improvement in the protection and socio-economic care for infected and affected persons. The cost of the last strategic framework is estimated at CFAF 170.78 billion. In the area of strengthening access to ARV treatment and other validated therapies, the medical care aspect is carried out by 95 health facilities, both public, private and community ones in the 64 health districts of the 13 health regions. Among these structures, 45 take care of paediatric care. 280. In the area of prevention, efforts have been made to strengthen the geographic expansion of the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS (PMTCT) implemented in 70 health districts in Burkina Faso. Furthermore, the number of sites that have incorporated the PMTCT into their minimum health packages has increased from 1620 in 2011 to 1 723 in 2012, representing a 97.3% coverage rate. The promotion of the use of condoms has been maintained. The quantity of condoms of all kinds sold and distributed in 2011 was 20 839 200 as against 19 575 296 in 2010. The fight against HIV/AIDS is dependent on four key entities: the Institutional Sector and Ministries; the private sector and corporate bodies; the territorial administrative entities sector and the communities. Indeed, in every ministerial department and in the institutions, Ministerial Committees for Combating AIDS (CMLS) have been established to ensure prevention and care for persons living with HIV/AIDS. The community sector brings together all the civil society stakeholders, Non-Governmental Organisations, networks of grassroots associations and other Community-based Organizations (CBOs) which provide service providers in the area of prevention. The prevention activities planned by the stakeholders of this sector are funded by resources of the AIDS Common Basket (PCS) of the SP/CNLS-IST and by many other partners. In fact, at the national level, a Permanent Secretariat of the National Anti-AIDS and Sexually Transmissible Diseases Council Transmissible (CNLS-IST) was 69
