Bonefacio Lopes asked: 1: What is the HIV/AIDS infected rate in GOA or for that matter India?
2: Do we have HIV/AIDS awarness in the form of discussion and education with the sex workers?? ---- Dear Bonifacio, One day, perhaps, you will expand on what you mean by "HIV/AIDS infected RATE". For now, I suggest that HIV/AIDS awarness - discussion and education be made available not only to "sex workers" but also to the rest of us who may be care givers, non care givers, family & non-family members of HIV positive individuals, non-clients of "sex workers" and clients of the 'sex workers". I will add here that Health Care workers continue to need a tremendous amount of advice wrt HIV/AIDS; NOT the clinical stuff but the bit about the word "Care" in Health Care. IF we say that we are in the business of Health Care, we should deliver Care without prejudice, snigerring and, in the atmosphere of absolute respect for the HIV/AIDS+ person's privacy. I am not referring to the medico-legal issues which bind us wrt the possibility of a HIV/AIDS person intentionally or recklessly infecting another; I am merely referring to the callous manner by which many health care workers treat the unfortunate HIV/AIDS+. Many believe that the HIV/AIDS+ person deserved in ...because he had Promiscuous Sex, or even Sex - which, I suppose, is a SIN, right? jc please visit "NEW" on The Goan Forum at http://www.colaco.net Recommended Goa related sites 1. http://www.goa-world.com 2. http://www.SuperGoa.com _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
