Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Dear FORUM, Re: /message/9203 Thanks for all your response on this matter. Recently I was in Mumbai and saw a job advertisement for GIPA Coordinator and Co-ordinator Youth Affairs released by Maharashtra State Aids Control Society (MSACS). Sadly somehow the ads read as follows: - GIPA Coordinator should be a Graduate with experience and he/she should be PLHA and should not be a member of any networks. My question is: How many PLHA are Graduates? and are open about their status? secondly if the person is not connected with any network or is not an Activist how will he address the issue and ensure meaningful involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS. In the recently, concluded conference in Mexico, from the emails on the AIDS INDIA e FORUM, it was clear that PLHA are talking of MIPA (Meaningful involvement of People Living with HIV). And if the person is not been or is member of any network how will he address the issues of PLHA and secondly there is need to add skills and knowledge to the existing systems in SACS and if the person is not aware of what is GIPA, how MIPA would be possible. I am sure Ms. Sujata Rao (seems that she is supposed to travel to Maharashtra) would address this issues with the SACS. In Solidarity, P.V.
