There were recent cases where children of parents infected with the virus was debarred from schools in states of Kerala n Tamil Nadu. In some cases, the parents died alone (no medical help) or committed suicide unable to cope with the pressure from the society for normal life... People shd be educated n made aware of, hope there is an end to this dreaded menance!

Somewhere I feel there is an element of commercialization everywhere, even in medicine.How long will it take to come up with some sort of vaccination or cure for AIDS or cancer? I hope I never find out that it was deliberately delayed.

Yes it's very sad when HIV+ve people are ostracized. They really need our support & that time, & we often let them down! :(

Yesterday I too was reading an article about an intense debate on AIDS being a 'gay-mans' disease or not.There are several misconceptions these days.Awareness is the only option.Thank you for sharing.

"male chauvinistic attitude"- That is a phrase that I strongly oppose to.While there are cases like you mentioned ,i don't think it is proper to classify all men to be exhibiting the same behaviour.

If so,female chauvinistic attitude also do exist!like the feminist belief that all men are considered irreconcilable rapists, wife-beating brutes etc.

Just felt like pointing it out,certainly doesn't wish to start a heated discussion :D :D

Have a great day! :)
Cheers

Interesting info! Every year, we celebrate world's Aids day but how many are really aware?

I remember a joke of a doctor who was educating some villagers about aids. He told them to use protection during sex and he demonstrated it by putting a condom on a stick. After 1 month when he came back to the village, he found out that everyone were using the condom on a stick, placing it beside the bed before having sex. lol

Good work Psych :)

PB, have you watched My brother Nikhil or something similar. It dealt with the issue in a much better way. As you mentioned, people assume that HIV + means AIDS and shun them immediately.

Great post. Also important to point in that many children and people get infected through their parents. So not only doing they have a mother with it they themselves have it. Imagine being a kid with it...This was brought to my eyes through a great radio program I listened to a couple of years ago..about children who are HIV+

are you serious about that place in Chennai? i don't know what to say. how can they do something like this? where is all the common sense? how can a man walk out, marry and infect others when they treat women like this. sucks.
