E/2002/68/Add.1 2. Ensuring, in partnership with non-governmental organizations, that trafficked persons are given access to primary health care and counselling. Trafficked persons should not be required to accept any such support and assistance and they should not be subject to mandatory testing for diseases, including HIV/AIDS. 3. Ensuring that trafficked persons are informed of their right of access to diplomatic and consular representatives from their State of nationality.
