As we stand poised at the start of the second decade of the new
millennia, it is time to take stock of the victories won and losses faced in
the on going fight against AIDS, deadliest disease known to man till date. No
other words conjure up so much revulsion, fear and despair in the human psyche
than AIDS or HIV.
• Approximately 2.5 million of these cases are in India, where
however the prevalence is only about 0.3%
•
Estimated adult and child deaths during 2010 is 250,000.
• By
starting an awareness program one can hope to bring together masses of people
and enlighten them on the ill effects of this disease.
• By
bringing together individuals from all walks of life one can give them
information on how the disease is contracted by individuals and the ways one
can enlist to save themselves from contracting the disease.
•
This knowledge given to the masses will prevent
social stigma from becoming rampant and will allow
those affected with the disease to live a normal life.
AIDS is a disease that doesn't choose its victims. It
affects each and every individual that comes its way.Victims include babies,
teen and old people. Their race, sex and age doesn't count when they are
affected with the disease.
Sometime people are
infected even if it was no fault of theirs; this is in cases of newborn babies.
•
A constructive, coordinated and consistent program will help orient the
community to a higher success rate and in turn will help to combat HIV/AIDS in a
better way.
•
It is essential to get more and
more people involved in an AIDS awareness program as this goes a long way in
reducing incident as people are well informed regarding what to do and what not
to do.
•
Student participation in the program will enable them to contribute to
nation building.
• The AIDS Awareness program to be carried out by Mahindra Chakan is a
very welcome step in this direction
