History of World AIDS Day: A timeline</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
At the beginning of the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1980s</strong>, before HIV had been identified as the cause of AIDS, the infection was thought to only affect specific groups, such as gay men in developed countries and people who inject drugs.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
The HIV virus was first isolated by Dr Francoise Barre-Sinoussi and Dr Luc Montagnier in <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1983 </strong>at the Institut Pasteur.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
In <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">November </strong>that year, WHO held the first meeting to assess the global AIDS situation and initiated international surveillance.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
With increasing awareness that AIDS was emerging as a global public health threat, the first International AIDS Conference was held in Atlanta in <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1985</strong>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
In <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1988</strong>, two WHO communications officers, Thomas Netter and James Bunn, put forward the idea of holding an annual World AIDS Day, with the aim of increasing HIV awareness, mobilising communities and advocating for action worldwide.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
It wasn't until <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1991 </strong>that the HIV movement was branded with the iconic red ribbon. This was the very first disease-awareness ribbon, a concept that would later be adopted by many other health causes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
Clinical trials of antiretrovirals (ARVs) began in <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1985 </strong>-- the same year that the first HIV test was approved -- and the first ARV was approved for use in <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1987</strong>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
By <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1995</strong>, ARVs were being prescribed in various combinations.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
Generic manufacturing of ARVs would only start in <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2001 </strong>providing bulk, low-cost access to ARVs for highly affected countries, particularly in <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/india-is-no-longer-among-top-three-countries-with-highest-malaria-burden-who-report-1392283-2018-11-20" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #026bc5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">sub-Saharan Africa</a>, where by 2000, HIV had become the leading cause of death.</div>

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3. </strong>There were approximately 36.9 million people living with HIV at the end of 2017 with 1.8 million people becoming newly-infected in 2017 globally.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4. </strong>The WHO African Region is the most affected region, with 25.7 million people living with HIV in 2017.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">6. </strong>Key populations often have legal and social issues related to their behaviours that increase vulnerability to HIV and reduce access to testing and treatment programmes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: OpenSans-Regular; font-size: 17px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 0px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">7. </strong>Between 2000 and 2017, new HIV infections fell by 36 per cent, and HIV-related deaths fell by 38 per cent with 11.4 million lives saved due to ART in the same period.</div>

<span style="background-color: #f6f6f6; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">World AIDS Day is observed on December 1 every year. The day is dedicated to spreading awareness about the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) which is spread by infection from a virus called human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The day is marked by the World Health Organisation as a global public health campaign. One can be at a greater risk of HIV if one has unprotected anal or vaginal sex, sharing contaminated needles, syringes and other injecting equipment, receive unsafe injections, blood transfusions, tissue transplantation, medical procedures that involve unsterile cutting or piercing; and experience accidental needle stick injuries including among health workers.</span><br />

<li style="border-top: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 70px; position: relative; text-align: left;">1. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. This virus leads to infection and it attacks the immune system. While HIV can be transmitted between people, AIDS is a condition that is acquired only after a person has contracted the HIV infection. AIDS is the final stage of the HIV infection.</li>
<li style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(242, 242, 242); box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style-type: none; margin: 15px 0px 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 70px; position: relative;">2. HIV can be suppressed by combination anti-retroviral therapy (ART) consisting of 3 or more antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. ART does not cure HIV infection but suppresses viral replication within a person's body and allows an individual's immune system to strengthen and regain the capacity to fight off infections.</li>
<li style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(242, 242, 242); box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style-type: none; margin: 15px 0px 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 70px; position: relative;">3.An estimated 21.7 million people were receiving HIV treatment in 2017. However, globally, only 59% of the 36.9 million people living with HIV in 2017 were receiving ART, according to World Health Organisation.</li>
<li style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(242, 242, 242); box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style-type: none; margin: 15px 0px 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 70px; position: relative;">4.Testing is the best way to determine whether you have HIV, but some of the early symptoms are fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes or mouth ulcers.</li>
<li style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(242, 242, 242); box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style-type: none; margin: 15px 0px 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 70px; position: relative;">5.HIV self-testing is a process whereby a person who wants to know his or her HIV status collects a specimen, performs a test and interprets the test results in private or with someone they trust. HIV self-testing does not provide a definitive HIV-positive diagnosis - instead, it is an initial test which requires further testing by a health worker.</li>

<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">O</span>n April 21, 2017, the President gave his assent to the <a href="http://egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/2017/175487.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (Prevention and Control)</a> Act, 2017 (HIV/AIDS Act). Most coverage of this legislation so far has been based on old versions of the Act (before it was introduced in Parliament) and press releases from the government. However, now that a final version of the Act is available, it is possible to assess its provisions.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A look at these provisions shows that while the Act does have some shortcomings, it has the potential to be used as a tool to realise a wide range of rights and improve the lives of persons living with HIV.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; letter-spacing: -0.025em; line-height: 1.125; margin: 3rem 0px 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">What the HIV/AIDS Act does</span></h2>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The purpose behind passing the HIV/AIDS Act is two-fold: recognise a broad range of rights for persons living with and affected by HIV, as well as provide statutory legitimacy to efforts by the government to prevent and control the transmission of HIV. Like the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2017 and the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 preceding it, it is a rights-based legislation which allows people affected by HIV to seek redressal if they face discrimination, or if any of the rights recognised under the Act are denied to them.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Most people living with HIV have <a href="http://www.thebetterindia.com/39386/hiv-aids-northeast-india/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">faced</a> some form of discrimination in their daily lives. Such discrimination first came to prominence several years ago, through the case of Dominic D’Souza, the founder of the Positive People group in Goa.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In 1989, it was detected that Dominic was HIV-positive after he donated blood at a local hospital. Following this, he was subjected to forced confinement in a former TB sanatorium for 64 days under the Goa Public Health Act. He challenged this action in court, which ordered his release till the court proceedings were over.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; letter-spacing: -0.025em; line-height: 1.125; margin: 3rem 0px 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Due to efforts by Dominic and several health activists, the Goa legislature also amended the provisions in the Goa Public Health Act which allowed the mandatory isolation of any person in whom the HIV virus had been detected.</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Owing to sensitisation efforts by people in the HIV movement and the government, we have made some progress since that case. However, stigma and discrimination against persons living with HIV <a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/let-ants-run-over-your-body-doctors-humiliate-hiv-positive-patient-in-mumbai/18165161" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">still</a> persists. It thus becomes crucial to address it through legal means, in addition to existing measures aimed at addressing these issues.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Act takes the first definitive step in this direction by making discrimination based on ‘HIV-related grounds’ a punishable offence. These ‘HIV-related grounds’ apply not only to persons who are/were HIV-positive, but also to anyone residing with an HIV-positive person. This is limited not only to the family members of the person, but could also include traditional households of transgender persons and same-sex partners.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In addition to this, courts can punish any act or speech expressing or propagating feelings of hatred against a ‘protected person’ by imprisonment up to two years, or a fine up to ₹1 lakh.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Perhaps, two of the groups most adversely affected by HIV-related stigma are women and children. The Act, therefore, makes special provisions for their welfare and well-being. Children who are HIV-positive, either of whose parents is HIV-positive or who are AIDS orphans, can claim special benefits under this Act.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Any person can approach the Child Welfare Committees set up under the Juvenile Justice Act in case the child is being dispossessed from his/her property, if someone has trespassed into the child’s house, or for safekeeping of property documents. It also recognises the guardianship of older siblings below the age of 18 who can handle the affairs of their HIV-affected family. Further, the Act states that women who may potentially face violence do not necessarily have to disclose their HIV status to their spouse.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally, the Act addresses an important facet of discrimination faced by vulnerable groups. These include men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender persons, sex-workers, and persons who inject drugs (PWID). The operation of other laws often hinders efforts at reducing the risk of HIV transmission.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In 2001, authorities arrested nine people working for a Lucknow-based NGO under section 377. They then linked this arrest to the nine’s work on HIV prevention among the MSM community. This caused alarm in the HIV community. Now, the Act specifically addresses this issue. It states that authorities cannot punish any measures taken for risk-reduction under any other laws that may affect it. This includes distributing condoms, providing needle exchange services, and Opioid Substitution Treatment to PWID.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; letter-spacing: -0.025em; line-height: 1.125; margin: 3rem 0px 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Way Forward</span></h2>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The HIV community has justifiably been <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2017/apr/13/india-flawed-first-step-ending-hiv-aids-prejudice" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">critical</a> of some aspects of this Act. The biggest concern is that the Act requires the State provide diagnostics and treatment for HIV ‘as far as possible’. This dilutes state responsibility, and is contrary to the rights-based spirit of the Act. However, one cannot clearly state the exact import of the phrase at this point. It will be up to the courts to decide how broadly to interpret this phrase.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Activists have also criticised the mechanism for enforcing the Act’s rights. The Act sets up an HIV Ombudsman and Complaints Officers (in establishments with more than 100 employees). However, it does not clearly define their function and powers. It is thus crucial for the community to continue its efforts to leverage the tools the Act provides. This will help the government enforce these rights, and maximise the benefits to persons living with HIV.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">Concerned about increasing lifestyle diseases, especially among youngsters, the health department is looking at introducing health as a subject for school children.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; content: "."; display: block; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; content: "."; display: block; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">While the proposal is in the preliminary stages, UT Khader, health minister, said that the department was looking at introducing the subject in schools during the coming academic year.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"></span></span><br />

It is not enough to simply tell them to wash hands before and after eating, or to have a shower everyday. These will be covered in primary sections- but as the child grows, they also need to be taught about how, for example, sugar affects their body, what metabolism is, what they can do to improve metabolism, lifestyle diseases and how to protect oneself from them and so on," Khader said.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">According to Khader, the lack of guidance and awareness was also contributing the increasing diseases. "Everyone is a doctor today and suggests anti- biotics for various diseases. There used to be a time when plants were used to cure minor illnesses like cold or cough and so on. Today nobody even remembers these plants which had huge medicinal value," he said. He added that the role of Ayurvedic medicine was especially important considering that it also focused on preventing factors that caused many lifestyle diseases. "Although Ayurveda is often considered the last resort in medicinal treatment, with greater awareness and more accessibility, it could become the first, at least for minor illnesses," he said.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; content: "."; display: block; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; content: "."; display: block; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">In an effort to make Ayurvedic medicine more accessible and affordable, the health department has proposed to construct 50 bed Ayurvedic hospitals within the campus of District hospitals across the state and 10 bed Ayurvedic centres in taluk hospitals as well.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; content: "."; display: block; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; content: "."; display: block; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">Construction of hospitals in Chitradurga and Mangalore was sanctioned in the last budget and will begin this year, he added.</span></span><br />

"What kind of nation can we build when our children are not healthy?" he asked, adding that Ayurveda had simple solutions in medicinal plants which were also not expensive.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; content: "."; display: block; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; content: "."; display: block; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;">Liver care and management: Improving the health of our livers will improve our overall health, according to Dr Mruthyunjaya Swamy, Managing Director, Shathayu Ayurveda.</span></span><br />

The critical shortage of skilled health-care workers, which manifested previously with SARS coronavirus, Ebola, and now with the Zika virus, has brought alarming attention to the fact that governments are unable to effectively handle global health crises partially due to insufficient, quality programmes to address the shortfall. UoPeople's Health Studies programme will prepare health workers for the workforce as well as prepare students for advanced studies within the medical field. We believe that in developed as well as developing countries, this is a priority that must be addressed".</span></span></div>

They lack the nutrition level required to sustain the treatment and a majority of the patients were unable to endure ART. The side-effects of the strong doses, such as vomiting and fatigue, affect them more than those who are healthy," said one of the counsellors at the ICTC, citing a cause of patients being lost to follow-up.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The ART is a long-term treatment and many times patients lose the patience to let the therapy work. In the initial few months, there is no symptomatic relief. Therefore most cases that are lost to follow-up are during these initial months," Dr Kedar Mehta, said researcher .</span></span><br />

One of these, 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK), has neurotoxic properties whereas another, named kynurenic acid (KYNA), has the ability to prevent nerve cell degeneration.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">While sexual and mental health issues remain taboo even today, the anonymity that online forums offer these days comes as a life saver for many Hyderabadis. An affirmation of this can be found in a six-city survey carried out by Lybrate, an online medical consultation platform -that shows a whopping 56% of interactions by city users are in relation to mental and intimate problems. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The survey revealed that queries from the city regarding sexual health stood at 36% and mental health at 20% over the past one year.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lybrate, a digital partner of Indian Medical Association, has around 90,000 doctors on its portal and app. Titled 'Lybrate healthscape India-2015', the survey analysed five million online interactions between users (both genders) originating from Hyderabad and doctors between January and December 2015. The other two issues most discussed with doctors by tech-savvy Hyderabadis included lifestyle dilemmas (28%) and women's health issues (16%), the survey revealed.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When it came to their sexual health, queries most often oscillated between issues regarding sexual stamina, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, sex during pregnancy, safe sex and sex libido.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<div class="last5brdiv" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; display: inline; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Elaborating on the survey, Saurabh Arora, founder and CEO, Lybrate, said, "Upon analysing the data, the major health problems in the city seem to be sexual and mental health related. We built the platform to keep the identity of users anonymous so that they can discuss any health problem freely and this is why many people were comfortable talking about these subjects."</span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dr K Srinivas, who has been on Lybrate app since its launch in January 2015, feels that sexual and mental problems are interconnected. "It would not be wrong to say that 60% to 70% of sexual problems originate from mental health issues," said Srinivas, neuro-psychiatrist and sex therapist, Maxcure Hospital, Madhapur. Citing an example, he said cases of premature ejaculation could be linked to anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders and to the psycho-social environment of the patient. "Though only 8% to 10% of online queries translate into actual visits, solutions is such cases involve counselling and psychiatric medicines," he added.</span></span><br />
<div class="last1brdiv" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sexual and mental health turned out to be the most discussed issues in other metros as well with queries relating to these subjects amounting to 75% of all discussions in New Delhi, 67% in Mumbai, 49% in Kolkata, 49% in Chennai and 45% in Bengaluru.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16.2px; line-height: 24.3px;">Vadodara: Concerned over increasing number of HIV patients leaving ART therapy mid-way, SSG Hospital's Integrated Counselling and Testing Centre (ICTC) has launched an initiative to educate the patients on ways to sustain the heavy dose of medicines administered.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 16.2px; line-height: 24.3px;"></span></span><br />

They lack the nutrition level required to sustain the treatment and a majority of the patients were unable to endure ART. The side-effects of the strong doses, such as vomiting and fatigue, affect them more than those who are healthy," said one of the counsellors at the ICTC, citing a cause of patients being lost to follow-up.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16.2px; line-height: 24.3px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"The ART is a long-term treatment and many times patients lose the patience to let the therapy work. In the initial few months, there is no symptomatic relief. Therefore most cases that are lost to follow-up are during these initial months," Dr Kedar Mehta, said researcher .</span></span><br />

"Many HIV positive patients hide their illness from relatives. As a result they do not take the regular medicines to avoid the questions," Mehta told TOI.</span></span><br />

<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
"As a mother living with HIV I did everything in my capacity to ensure my children were born HIV-free. My husband has grabbed my vision of ending AIDS and together we won't let go of this hope. Our two children are a part of an AIDS-free generation and will continue our legacy."</div>

Still much work to be done</h2>

The report represents a major milestone in the fight against AIDS/HIV in key populations, but significant gaps remain.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
New HIV infections rates are now rising among men who have sex with men, notably in western Europe and North America, where major declines were previously experienced. According to the report, HIV prevention must be adapted to suit the new audience.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
Men can prevent the risk of infection by undergoing circumcision, and the number doing so is rising. From 2008-14, about 9.1 million men in 14 priority countries underwent the operation. Ethiopia and Kenya have both already exceeded their target of 80% coverage.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
However, progress in ensuring access to children infected has been reported as slower. As of 2014, only 32% of the 2.6 million children living with HIV had been diagnosed, and only 32% of children living with HIV had access to antiretroviral therapy.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
In addition, greater emphasis is required on furthering HIV testing. It is reported only 54% (19.8 million) of the 36.9 million people who are living with HIV knew that they were living with the virus.</div>
<div style="-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
According to the report, UNAIDS estimates that $31.9 billion is required for the AIDS response in 2020, followed by a further $29.3 billion in 2030 to fully eradicate the disease from the world and achieve an AIDS-free legacy for the next generation.</div>
