Dear Friends

I am a very new professional working in the field of HIV/AIDS counseling and

testing. I have been associated with a Municiple Corp.'s Hospital in Pune,

India.

The patients are mostly referred by the doctors of the hospital for HIV/AIDS

counselling and testing. Since I have joined I have seen so many patients

referred to us already were tested by Pvt doctors/Pvt labs. So many of them came

Positive but not were counselled or even referred by these Pvt labs/ Pvt

practioners, inspite of knowing well about our Governmental Free Counselling &

Testing Centre.

Sometimes I feel frustrated because, patients were given their reports by only

telling that `you are normal' or `you have just got started the AIDS'. Its

ridiculas, cause the simple reason that if such pts would have been referred or

counselled to us or to any appropriate counselling centres, their partners could

have been saved from the HIV transmission.

For the consideration of this matter I have to mention here that we have now

started to contact such Pvt practioners and Labs.

My simple question is, doesnt it the responsibility of Pvt practioners Pvt Labs

to refer these patients to the Counseling & Testing Centres?.
