Dear FORUM,

Re: /message/8961

Chandigarh registering 30 pc increase in HIV+ cases, Is the rise real or

Virtual?

Dr. Gupta may be right that awareness is the cause-but I feel it is also

attributed to the success of NACO (to whatevevr small or big scale) that people

have stopped bothering about being seen going to ART centers.

Affordability from even outside ART is another factor. The proof is that despite

my sending majority of my patients to local ART center,still around 100 patients

prefer to buy ARv's from the market and do not mind visiting a PP like me.

The proof is many Hospitals now have started admitting HIV patients with

complications and even without complications for surgeries and delivaries.

The efforts of NACO are really bringing fruits(Mehnat rang laa rahi lagti

hai).The news of second line drugs being made available at most of the centers

including Chandigarh is heartening.

My only worry is the success of reversing the trend of high risk behaviours and

the day we achieve the that, believe me the battle will be over.

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/8961

 

Awareness and Access to Free ART will lead to an increase in health seeking

behaviour and thus reporting. The increase may be thus an aftereffect.

Instead of statitstics, the prime theme should be to encourage people to adopt

safe behaviours and create an enabling environment to discuss the issues openly,

with active involvement of PLHIV.
