He said, You know because I personally feel that we cannot be satisfied when we have one death due to HIV AIDS. We will not be satisfied if people discriminate because their status or because for who they are or for who they love which is, or criminalised because their sexual orientation.
And we cannot be happy when we are seeing for any two people we are putting on treatment, we have five new infections. So I want a zero new infection. I want a zero discrimination. I want zero AIDS related deaths because I am convinced that it is this vision which will push us to make our society better.
On his way from Papua New Guinea, where it's estimated that 1 per cent of the population has HIV, Mr Sidibe told Jennifer Macey of ABC Radio, You know I was very impressed because coming to the Pacific region I was expecting, particularly in Papua New Guinea, to see a conservative countries but I found that the effort made by certainly Australian Government over the years is paying off.
"Today I am seeing in countries which is opening themselves to major debate but also in less than five years they came from zero people on treatment, today they have almost 75 per cent of total people in need on treatment.
"The major challenge for Papua is how to deal with law reforms which can help really to protect the most at risk population, particularly the sex worker, the man having sex with man, but also how to bring prevention at the highest level.
