Health
Liberty of thought and action is the only condition of life, of growth and well being. Where it does not exist, the man, the race, the nation must go down".
AIDS LINE
As per the United Nations Development Programme, HIV / AIDS epidemic has in two decade infected nearly seventy million people since it began. Some Forty two million are living with HIV and AIDS and over Twenty Five million have died. Without decisive action not only we will fail to achieve the Millennium Developement Goal of reversing the spread of HIV / AIDS, but worse the number of people infected is likely to double in less than a decade. International funding to confront the epidemic has began to grow, but it will take massive, comprehensive and sustained intervention in both high and low prevalence countries to turn the tide.
Moreover, stigma and discrimination are the major obstacles to effective HIV / AIDS prevention and care. Fear of discrimination may prevent people from seeking treatment from AIDS or from acknowledging their HIV status publicly. People with or suspected of having HIV may turned away from health care services, denied housing and employment, shunned by their friends and colleagues, turned down for insurance coverage or refused entry into foreign countries. In this some cases they may be evicted from home by their families, divorced by thier spouses, and suffer physical violence or even murder. The stigma attached to HIV / AIDS may extend into the next generation, placing an emotional burden on children who may also be trying to cope with the death of their parents from AIDS.
