Mikkelsen said the governments were starting to take the problem seriously, and that in recent years many of them have developed national AIDS commissions and strategic plans to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, while also launching public campaigns -- such as the Stop AIDS campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina -- to inform and educate people about the disease.
Mikkelsen je rekao kako vlade počinju ozbiljno shvaćati problem, te kako su posljednjih godina mnoge od njih razvile nacionalna povjerenstva za AIDS i strateške planove sprečavanja širenja HIV-a/AIDS-a, te pokrenule i javne kampanje - kao što je kampanja Stop AIDS u Bosni i Hercegovini - u cilju informiranja i educiranja ljudi o bolesti.
