Re: Maharashtra village to make pre -marriage HIV test mandatory

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum subscribers,

This initiative by the gram sabha is very encouraging-

not neceassarily because of the decision to have HIV

testing. What got me more excited is that there is so

much awareness about HIV at the grassroot level in

this village. If they have proper guidance (about HIV

facts) the results in terms of HIV control will be

very significant.
