Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 With reference to the continuing debate on the spread of IV/AIDS in Rural India. i would like to highlight the issue of the dearth of information among the comman people about the pandemic and the precautions to be used while coping with the pandemic. I would like to quote an incident where in a pregnant woman was not allowed to stay in her home when she was found to be positive. Also to quote a news report in the Times Of India where in a team of health workers were distributing condoms in rural areas of East India. the villagers asked the workers whether it (the condoms) should be taken with cold water or hot water. highlighting the bare lack of information and the state of working of the Govt. media in such situations. vijay Rai E-mail:<vrai-rbgm@...> _________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
