Some basic facts about HIV/AIDS

" It is believed that by the end of 20th century there will be more than 40 million people infected with HIV all over the world and India would be surpassing all others with highest number of cases (about 10-20 million). All may not be infected but will definitely be impacted indirectly by the pandemic. Therefore it is the responsibility of every citizen of India to have complete knowledge about this disease".

It is mostly due to lack of knowledge about AIDS and prejudice that people have fear from the victims of this disease. Because of fear of social stigma, AIDS patients and their relatives hide their HIV status. Many doctors (due to fear of getting infection) also discriminate these patients. There is danger of contracting AIDS for everybody and only thing that can prevent us from contracting is to have complete knowledge about the disease.
