E/C.12/MDA/CO/3 recommends that the State party carry out information campaigns on the free primary health-care services and other health-care services available and provide identity documents to those Roma who do not have them. Sexual and reproductive health 62. The Committee is concerned at: (a) The limited access to sexual and reproductive health information and services, including modern contraceptives, particularly for young persons, Roma women and women with disabilities; (b) The lack of compulsory sexuality education in school, despite legal obligations, which leads to a high incidence of teenage pregnancy and early marriage due to pregnancy, as well as HIV and sexually transmitted infections among adolescents; (c) The lack of coverage of abortion services under health insurance benefits, which leads to a large number of clandestine abortions; (d) The continuing practice of coercive sterilization for women with disabilities, Roma women and women in rural areas allegedly without their free, informed and prior consent, and the legal provisions that allow non-consensual termination of a pregnancy on grounds of psychosocial or intellectual impairment (arts. 2 (2) and 12). 63. The Committee recommends that the State party take all effective measures to: (a) Ensure access for all to sexual and reproductive health information and services, including modern contraceptives; (b) Carry out comprehensive and age-appropriate sexual and reproductive education in all educational institutions, as provided in the law on sexual and reproductive health; (c) Ensure that health insurance covers abortion; (d) End the practice of coercive sterilization for women with disabilities, Roma women and women in rural areas and repeal legislation that allows for the nonconsensual termination of pregnancy. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to its general comment No. 22 (2016) on the right to sexual and reproductive health. HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis 64. The Committee is concerned at the growing incidence of HIV/AIDS and the frequent cases of disclosure of medical information of persons living with HIV/AIDS. It is also concerned at the troubling level of tuberculosis incidence, particularly multi-drugresistant tuberculosis (art. 12). 65. The Committee recommends that the State party intensify its efforts to combat the spread and effects of HIV/AIDS, including by extending the coverage of free antiretroviral treatment and revising the provisions of the Criminal Code that criminalize HIV transmission. It urges the State party to review law no. 23-XVI of 2007 on the prevention of HIV/AIDS infection, with a view to protecting patient confidentiality. It also recommends that the State party intensify its efforts to treat and prevent tuberculosis, particularly multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. Drug users 66. The Committee is concerned at reports that drug users have been subjected to compulsory treatment, combined with detention, and that the harm reduction programmes for drug users face the withdrawal of international funding, which will result in fewer health services and an increased prevalence of hepatitis and HIV among drug users (art. 12). 67. The Committee recommends that the State party apply a human rights-based approach to the treatment of drug users and provide appropriate health care, 10
