An article in Norwegian

It was Mette-MArit who had made the initative for the meeting, she wanted to get to know more about the work and role of HIV Norge. She greeted everyone who works there and had meetings with representatives from the administration.

The Crown Princess said to the magazine POSITIV that it is importen to -de-demonize HIV in Norway, not by making it a risikosport but so that it easier to live with and talk about the desease.
- It is a heavy enough burden to carry for the person and his/hers family if they should not fight with predjudices on top of the other problems.

the general secretary of HIV Norge Evy Aina Røe say that the CP has a true interest and engagement for the cause, and she helps to highlight that HIV and AIDS is also a challenge on a national level. She further hopes that Mette-MArit will help promote HIV Norges work in the different events/fora she participates in. HivNorge

Wow. This is a great suit for her. She looks great. And even though it is black in color, it still has a little bit of white in the collar and the sleeves to break it up. Very stylish. But that is just my opinion.
And to add to this, I would say that I would rather see her in a loose fitting suit like this one, than in a taylored suit jacket that makes her look frumpy and bumpy.

[dazzling]

Not a fan of the outfit at all, but it isnt that bad, I like the necklace.
What was this event? gala perfomance, I think im lost? dinner, a stage performance

I like the outfit but these colours do not make great pix.... fortunately she is blonde

It's first time when I must say that I really don't like Mette-Marit's outfit - black color, this suit and her face. Actually I think that's M-M is beautiful and elegant woman but unfortunately this outfit doesn't like to me

[royalone3]

Gotta admit,I don't like the outfit,it's not very flattering and too old for her.

Strålende, Mette-Marit! - Side2

[norwegianne]

Mette-Marit takes part in the organizations AIDES and the International Aids Society's campaign against stigma and discrimination against those with HIV.

Read more about the campaign, and see Mette-Marit's poster in the campaign here: International AIDS Society - Campaign Against Stigma And Discrimination (The pictures change throughout)

NCA - Hvis Mette-Marit var hiv-positiv...

The campaign will be launched at the conference in Mexico, where Mette-Marit won't participate this time around. She's in the jury for the Red Ribbon Award, which will be awarded during the conference.

And she will also take a field trip - soon - to visit UNAIDS projects, it is reported.

This is great! I really liked the poster for the campaign. It is very powerful, and really makes a person think. I admire Mette Marit for getting involved in this cause.

It is good to see her taking part on such campains.
