HIV PERSON DIES AFTER HOSPITAL REFUSES TREATMENT

A 26-year-old man died of renal failure after doctors in a government-run hospital in Delhi refused to treat him because he was HIV- positive, a newspaper report said .
The Hindustan Times newspaper said the unnamed man was admitted with a fever at the Lok Nayak Hospital, but that tests conducted revealed he was HIV positive.
"His case sheet says that he was refused treatment because he was HIV-positive," a doctor at the hospital, who declined to be named, told the newspaper.
"He was referred for dialysis. But doctors there turned him away because he was suspected to be HIV-positive," the doctor said. "He died within two hours."

Widespread stigma and discrimination forces millions of people living with HIV and AIDS underground where they shy away from social life and hide their infection.
A top UN official said in the absence of vaccine against the virus, the ‘social vaccine’ of mass awareness needs to be strengthened.
"Social vaccine is the main weapon to fight against the HIV/AIDS," Peter Piot, executive director of United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS(UNAIDS) said in the eastern city of Patna.
"By social vaccine I mean to create a mass awareness to educate the people about the killer disease and on how to prevent it" said Piot, who was a member of a delegation on a daylong visit to Bihar along with Suma Chakrabarti of the International Development (DFID) of Britain.
Bihar is a focus state for both DFID and UNAIDS. "The latest study showed that Bihar is vulnerable to HIV/AIDS due to poverty and large-scale migration from the state," he said.
"If the people know how to protect themselves, we will win the battle against HIV/AIDS in India and across the world," Piot said.
According to the United Nations, 5.7mn Indians are living with HIV/AIDS the world’s largest caseload.
What happes in India, is also happinig in other country.
Let let the Government and international Agencies support people living with HIV and AIDS Economically and legally to live a normal life.
We have the right to live.
