Dear all, please see the message below and sign the petition at the link http://www.petitiononline.com/dlhiv08/petition.html
Rgds Aryan ---------- Forwarded message --------- The HIV/AIDS Bill, which was drafted after extensive civil society consultations since 2003 and submitted to National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) in August 2006, has been truncated by the Law Ministry. Important chapters like Information, Education and Communication, Strategies for Risk Reduction and Access to Treatment have been completely deleted. On the contrary, there is an attempt to introduce draconian measures like mandatory testing, identification and tracing of HIV positive people. Such measures violate the rights of people infected and affected by HIV, and undermine the present National AIDS Control Programme that has been formulated on a rights based approach. The Campaign for the HIV/AIDS Bill demands that the government should reject the Law Ministry's version of the Bill and the original NACO Bill should be tabled in the upcoming session of Parliament.
