Sanjivinai on STAR PLUS tonight at 9.00pm

[Guest guest]

To all friends and concerned persons,

WHO WATCH MAINSTREAM TV AND THOSE WHO DO NOT

Please watch STAR PLUS tonight. They have a programme called SANJIVANI at 9.00pm

where they are showing an HIV positive doctor being insisted upon by another

doctor colleague to operate on her for her delivery.

While on one hand it is spreading awareness about HIV which is commendable.. it

is also I feel at the same time endorsing that an HIV positive doctor can

operate upon a pregnant women and help her deliver her first child - either with

operation or without.

It does not talk about the need for adequate precautions and other

conditionalities within which an HIV positive doctor must operate.

Can there be some intervention to facilitate inclusion of such vital and

absolutely important information in this serial?

Sincerely

Mallika
