Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Dr Indranil Basu has most probably never treated an AIDS patient in his life. Dr Indranil Basu's myopic, distorted and outrageous statements serve no other purpose but to misguide everybody. His arguments are far from analytical or sane. It is a warped, middle class morality-based, piece of doctored fiction. AIDS does not spread 'only' through sexual contact, it also spreads through infected blood. Sub-Saharan Africa has the most number of AIDS cases, not the US. NACO figures are grossly under-reported. Earlier this year, in May, the State ASIDS Cell in Bihar insisted that there were only 44 HIV cases where just two private testing centres had figures exceeding 600. And Bihar isn't even on the AIDS action alert map! Let DR Basu come down to Bihar where in the people from the villages trek to trusted testing centres and a new person tests positive almost every day. True, Dr Basu belongs to the clique who are shouting hoarse for more money to combat TV and other common diseases, and there is no argument about that, but to vent his venom just because money is being set aside for HIV/AIDS care and management is absurd.
