Rights Of Hiv Aids Patients

While the government is taking adequate steps to safeguard the rights of HIV and AIDS patients, the National Family Health Survey 2015-16 (NFHS-4) shows that men have more knowledge about the disease than women.

The cabinet on Wednesday approved important amendments to the HIV and AIDS Bill, 2014 in meeting chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The bill provides legal accountability and a formal mechanism to probe complaints of discrimination against patients and also makes anti-retroviral treatment a legal right of patients.

A leak of HIV carriers' identities in China was a violation of their "fundamental right", the World Health Organization said, after reports that hundreds of infected people were approached by telephone swindlers.

Delhi High Court on Friday sought responses from the Centre and city government on a PIL alleging that poor HIV patients have been denied right to free treatment as well as accessibility to and availability of essential medicines and tests.
