On the other hand, in Taiwan, where the HIV Infection Control and Patient Rights Protection Act was promulgated and implemented in July 2007, the responsibility for carrying out HIV education is no longer confined to health authorities. Article 7 states that ''competent authorities shall conduct education programmes and promotion campaigns on the prevention and control of HIV. The various central competent authorities shall devise annual plans detailing education programmes and promotion campaigns; the contents of such plans shall be sex-conscious and shall focus on anti-discrimination; the plans shall be implemented with the assistance of organizations, schools, groups and mass media.'' It appears that the Taiwanese government has a very positive attitude towards implementing a comprehensive campaign to educate people about HIV and AIDS and to promote prevention efforts.
