HIV-Maintainance Pledge!? SANGRAM Will Not Be Having That!

SANGRAM has guts for rejecting USAID help becuase if they did they would have to sign a pledge effectively maintaining the HIV/AIDS problem in India

Opponents of the rule point out that the pledge runs counter to the Act’s own explicitly stated aims, including placing "particular emphasis" on "specific populations that represent a particularly high risk of contracting or spreading HIV/AIDS, including those exploited through the sex trade." The groups also charge that the pledge contradicts the Act’s stated goal to "reduce the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS."


Another way to stem HIV/AIDS is to legalize and regulate prositution. Prositution has been around in the world since the Greeks. We might as well live with it.
