CRC/C/ROM/CO/4 page 18 parents and the public by, inter alia, providing children with accurate and objective information about toxic substance use, including tobacco. The Committee further recommends that children be provided with adequate treatment and services. HIV/AIDS 72. While noting a decrease in the recorded number of adolescents diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS, the Committee is concerned that the proportion of young people, including adolescents of 15 to18, among those recently diagnosed with HIV/AIDS is high. While the Committee appreciates the commitment of the State party to providing universal treatment to those infected with HIV/AIDS, it continues to be concerned that in practice the provision of such treatment may not be readily available and may vary across counties. The Committee is further concerned that children affected by HIV/AIDS often experience barriers in accessing health services. 73. The Committee recommends that the State party, while taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 3 (2003) on HIV/AIDS and the rights of the child and the International Guidelines on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights, strengthen its preventive efforts by conducting campaigns and educational programmes, particularly within schools, in order to raise awareness of STIs, including syphilis and HIV/AIDS, as well as on prevention methods. Standard of living 74. The Committee welcomes the “Programme for the Implementation of the Anti-poverty National Plan and for the Promotion of Social Inclusion (PNAinc) 2006-2008 adopted by the State party. It also notes that, under article 44 of Law No. 272/2004, children are entitled to a decent standard of living as provided for in article 47 (1) of the Constitution. However, it is concerned that, according to statistics, children are particularly vulnerable to poverty. The Committee is also concerned that, while poverty among the Roma population dropped between 2003 and 2006, the poverty risk among the Roma population is still four times higher that for the majority population. 75. The Committee would like to highlight that an adequate standard of living is essential for the child’s physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social development. In accordance with article 27 of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Intensify support programmes for children in need, particularly with regard to nutrition, clothing, schooling and housing; (b) Develop comprehensive policy frameworks for the delivery of sustainable social services to address the complex situation of Roma children and their families.
