India has an estimated 20.9 lakh people living with HIV. However, nearly 30 -35 percent of these do not know there HIV status. After a person gets infected with HIV, there is a long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years when infected person may not have any symptoms till his immunity goes down significantly and he start getting different opportunistic infection like TB, diarrhoea, fungal infection etc. Hence most of the HIV infected persons present to health system in late stage when immunity is very low and their response to treatment may not be optimal. Also during this long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years, though they are infected but may not be aware of HIV status and are capable of spreading the infection their spouse or others if they continue to indulge unprotected sex.

Early detection of PLHIV is beneficial for patient himself as he can receive timely appropriate treatment including ART as well as for the community to stop further transmission of HIV.

We invite suggestion from community/ NGO/ CBO/ Civil society and public at large their views/ ideas on How to facilitate early detection of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and put them on ART as soon as possible.

Dear PM, please help Dr.Ramakrishnan Madhusoodanan, a pioneering researcher in the field of HIV/AIDS. He is capable of curing HIV. Unfortunately, Govt of India is not supporting him at all! This man alone can save India from AIDS menace. Please help him and save India. https://in.linkedin.com/pub/ramakrishnan-madhusoodanan/1b/600/605 . His research is closely watched by foreigners, not Indias! What a pity!

Sir, over the last decade awareness of HIV has increased. Some states, like Tamil Nadu, have made significant strides in decreasing the number of new cases by aggressively testing targeted high risk groups along with follow up medical care. It is essential to co-opt voluntary organisations to reach out to the community, to remove the stigma of the affliction and coerce them into getting tested & treated. Support groups of positive people, like in AA, should be started by local governments.

For Improving DRUGs issue, we need to modify our education system which was corrupted by MaCaulay. We need to add values in our education system. Education is not only about to get a job but to lead healthy and peaceful life(missing in our Education System). Go back to Vedic ways of learning and not for just earning money.
