India's approach on HIV/AIDS policy and programmes:

The big questions

The Centre for Communication and Development Studies, Pune, and the Lawyers

Collective HIV/AIDS Unit, Mumbai, invite you to a discussion of important

questions related to India's HIV/AIDS policy and programmes. These are questions

that need more public debate:

Is HIV a major public health problem or does it get too much

attention?

Will the National AIDS Control Programme III make a difference?

Where does the money for AIDS programmes come from, and how is it

spent?

Are NGO programmes and government policy at loggerheads?

How have things changed for HIV-positive people in the last 22

years?

What are the experiences of people seeking treatment for AIDS?

What is the government doing to ensure access to new drugs?

What is happening to the HIV/AIDS Bill?
