its a pathetic condition.. even more pathetic is the way the society responds to it.. even after so much campaigning and informative talks and discussions.... it still exists..discrimination... people are not ready to accept the fact that these people too have a right to live ,just as they do...

For this reason people should be more aware about the AIDS. AIDS awareness sessions should be sponserred by big companies & big celebrities. They doing that but, its not enough. They should be on the road & they should make sessions in the small villages & cities also.Then it can be controlled. the below webite has all the details about the AIDS Its AIDS global information system. www.aegis.org/

People are ignorant and are too lazy to correct that problem. Yes, there's plenty of media out there giving the facts about AIDS but, when you talk to the average person, they couldn't tell you anything about it. In fact, I've talked to several people who still think AIDS is something only gay men get.

There is also a problem now in some countries that it is a manageable disease. I can tell you it is not manageable like diabetes. If you have it you can live a long life but you will most likely die from it or the treatment.

These people are affected with a disease. No one should find them anything but Human and in need. It is unconscionable that anyone discriminate against a sick person. I have been disgusted with political and religious leaders decisions to let HIV victums die instead of trying to help them. Now look how the problem is affecting all levels of society. It is a disease not a social faux pas. And it has existed for much longer than anyone truly knows.
