The plan will be jointly carried out by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA), the Health Ministry and the Ministry of Education with technical assistance from various international organisations.
This was announced at a two-day conference in the northern province of Hai Duong on September 22.
MOLISA Minister Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan emphasised that children suffer the most from the consequences of HIV/AIDS and that many of the fundamental rights of those affected by HIV/AIDS have not been upheld.
According to the MOLISA, about 143,000 children in the country have lost their mother or father or both to HIV/AIDS.
Meanwhile the Health Ministry reported that by the end of 2008, 2,415 children under 16 had contracted the deadly virus.
By the end of August, there were 132,000 HIV-positive carriers in Vietnam, mostly in the 20-39 age group with males accounting for 82 percent of cases.
The ten provinces and cities recording the highest percentages of HIV/AIDS patients in 2008 were Dien Bien, Son La, Thai Nguyen, Yen Bai, Quang Ninh, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Hanoi , and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
The Government has been providing anti-viral drugs, blood tests and counselling free of charge to thousands of people living with HIV.
