Regarding Global financial crisis affecting the life of people living with HIV/AIDS

[Guest guest]

Dear forum,

This is regarding the global financial crisis affecting the life of people

living with HIV/AIDS worldwide especially in India.

Many of the advanced countries is undergoing financial crisis, many of the MNC

is running out of finance has their shares are declining.

In this case will this financial crisis affect the treatment aspects of PLHA,

coz my fear is that how far will UN and GFATM is going to face this.

According to my point of view if somebody doesn't have finance for themselves

how are they going to donate money? Will global fund face hardship in collecting

money? Hope Global fund will take necessary steps in this issue that it will not

affect their objective.

Recently in the newspaper THE HINDU dated 18/12/2008 there was news about the

World food program cutting their rations in the country Ethiopia, where people

are starving without food; In that case what will be the scenario in the state

of tamilnadu, where Nutrition supplement are given in the ART centers which is

supported by World Food Program and will it continue or not.

My fear is that being India one among the developing countries are mainly

relying on foreign funds in treating HIV/AIDS and this financial crisis should

not affect the people living with HIV/AIDS in India.

My dear forum members please correct me if I am wrong, because I am not a

financial expert to analyze this issue.

Please do clarify my doubt.
