HIV/AIDS: The big questions: Info Change Dossier

In India , there is an information overload on certain aspects of

HIV/AIDS: the number of infected and affected people, governmental

and non-governmental interventions, transmission and prevention.

But the crucial questions are often ignored:

Is HIV/AIDS skewing the priorities of our public health system?

Are we tackling it the right way?

Have the lives of HIV-positive people really changed in India ?

Why are less than 50% of those who need treatment getting it?

Do we need a separate law on HIV/AIDS?

This InfoChange dossier gets to the heart of the matter and asks some

provocative questions.
