TNSACS in trouble on using the photo of a family without permission

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends

Re: /message/10598

I believe being too quick to be judgemental about TNSACS work is fairly wrong,

though the media has made a big mileage out of this.

I completely empathize with the family affected by this, but i am wondering how

an advertising agency captures the photographs without informed consent.

To my knowledge this error has happened due to carelessness, insensitivity and

inexperience of the advertisement agency in dealing with people living with HIV

AIDS.

TNSACS is well progressing in every aspects in HIV AIDS intervention and I know

this is a hurdle for the progress in programs of TNSACS, but I strongly believe

TNSACS will take up steps to further intensify its effort in ensuring rights of

the public and people living with HIV AIDS with utmost care.

Let us look at what lesson we need to learn from this incident than anything

else!
