India has an estimated 20.9 lakh people living with HIV. However, nearly 30 -35 percent of these do not know there HIV status. After a person gets infected with HIV, there is a long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years when infected person may not have any symptoms till his immunity goes down significantly and he start getting different opportunistic infection like TB, diarrhoea, fungal infection etc. Hence most of the HIV infected persons present to health system in late stage when immunity is very low and their response to treatment may not be optimal. Also during this long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years, though they are infected but may not be aware of HIV status and are capable of spreading the infection their spouse or others if they continue to indulge unprotected sex.

Early detection of PLHIV is beneficial for patient himself as he can receive timely appropriate treatment including ART as well as for the community to stop further transmission of HIV.

We invite suggestion from community/ NGO/ CBO/ Civil society and public at large their views/ ideas on How to facilitate early detection of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and put them on ART as soon as possible.

Its possible with educating everyone from ground level on benefits of early detection of HIV. Advertisememts, seminars, should be conducted extensively to teach HIV/AIDS prevention & the benefits of getting tested early. Also, People should be made aware that they can be tested in all the government hospitals for free. At last Schools & Colleges should teach HIV/AIDS prevention & HIV education should be made mandatory for all the young people.

Make HIV screening compulsory in government and private hospitals. The testing should be standardised and match international standards.All hospitals should have records on computers with information like address and phone numbers and next of kin details. Once a person is found to be positive tracking patients providing support in the form of help and treatment and rehabilitation would help them to come for treatment. Giving financial incentives to them when they compley with treatment.

Sir the recent health hazard of chattisgarh raises eyebrows that you can't be complacent as with great prosperity comes great responsibility chattisgarh is a developing state but due to such instances the people are worried as no poor person in this nation wants to be a laboratory rat used to conduct experiments and test upon sir it's the need of the poor that is why he goes to government run and aided health care centre to cure himself and become healthy again and not to further fall ill again

The coming generations need to be healthy internally with a strong immune system. The problem of food adultration and fake edibles is ever growing and is damaging our coming generations who are being fed these harmful chemical compositions that damage their bodies gradually. I request everybody to support this cause if giving very harsh punishment from 10 years to life for anybody involved in such malpractices. This is about our coming generations. Let's give them a fair chance to live well!

Policy makers always think their own way they are notcare for lives. Because we think we need metro train and experess way.Is anyone can think high speed route for emergency for patient who is between life and death. They can prioritise the emergency traffic with nature of desase and which near hospital is capable to save life . emergency control room is required.we should plan emergency metro rail which can connect many hospital.

public education is a major factor....advertising more on telivision would be a better option.....i barely remember an advertisement regarding this issue over the television.....it should also be explained to the patient how much government is spending....and it would be better if govt has colaboration with the corporate setup for investigation and diagnosis....as people would hesitate to attend a govt centre...and as far as i know adequate privacy would be maintained for patients...

Traffic police corruption can be reduce little bit by putting CC camera and voice recorder at the checkpoint.The check point must be every 10 kilometers and the police should not chase the vehicle eventhere is a violation.They can send an SMS to control room with vehicle nr. The police department should send the courier the notice to party by registered address and SMS to registered mobile to be updated in every six months during emission test and same time they must check the licence other doc

Instead of giving free rice to people.The government can open a canteen in every layout or every 2 kilometer.This facility must be given to those who works but not for the lazy.To get his meal they should show the identity card which is authorised by Employer if the salary below the standard level.At the end of the day he can collect rice and vegetable from the government store for their dependents and gett subsidised gas and electricity if he work.Otherwise we will make our new generation lazy.

भारत माता की जय माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंदर मोदी जी को सादर प्रणाम सभी देश प्रेमियों को प्रणाम जैसा की सम्पूर्ण जगत इस बात से परिचित है की भारत जगत गुरु की उपाधि पर विराजमान था । भारत ही शिक्षा का केंद्र था। चाहे विज्ञान की शिक्षा या आध्यात्म का महाज्ञान दोनों ही की दृष्टि से भारत ही विशव का गुरु रहा है । शून्य(0विज्ञानिक विषय) से लेकर अनंत(परमात्मा आधात्मिक विषय) तक जितना भी ज्ञान विज्ञान है उसकी रौशनी उसकी ऊर्जा का अनुभव सारे जगत को भारत ने करवाया है। इसी प्रकार यदि गोर से देखा जाए तो स्वस्थ रहने का जो विज्ञान है जो ज्ञान है वह भी भारत से उपजा है। वह आयुर्वेद भारत की इसी पवित्र भूमि पर अवतरित हुआ है। आज जब विशव रोगों से त्राहि त्राहि कर रहा है। पहले क्या बिमारियाँ कम थी जो नई से नई और उपजती जा रही हैं। आज मनुष्य का जीवन जीने में कम और दवा खाने में ज्यादा व्यतीत हो रहा है। इसका मूल कारण है हमारी जीवनशैली में और धरती वातावरण में बदलाव। आज छोटे बच्चे से लेकर बड़े बूढ़े तक कोई भी इससे अछूता नहीं रहा । बस यहीं जरुरत है भारत के उस प्राचीन विज्ञानं की जो शास्वत है जो प्राणी की रक्षा के लिए अवतरित हुआ है । आयुर्वेद ।।।। आज समाज के बदलते परिवेश में हम प्रकृति से दूर बहुत दूर होते जा रहे हैं । किसी को सिर पेट आदि किसी अंग में दर्द होता है तो झट pain killer ले लिया । बुखार आया तो कौन खाए चूर्ण या कौन पिए काढ़ा paracitamol है ना । मेरा किसी चिकित्सा पद्धति से विरोध नहीं विरोध है तो प्रकृति से दूर जाने से । आयुर्वेद ने अपनी बाँहों को फैला रखा है और कहता है ''स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्य रक्षणं आतुरस्य विकार प्रशमनं च।।'' स्वस्थ के स्वास्थ्य की रक्षा और रोगी के विकार का शमन करना ही मेरा(आयुर्वेद का) प्रयोजन है। आओ मेरी बाँहों में आओ । मैंने cancer जैसे गंभीर रोगों से पीड़ित व्यक्तियों को आयुर्वेद की शरण में आ कर ठीक होते देखा है । आयुर्वेद के लिए कोई भी रोग असम्भव नहीं बशर्ते आपका विशवास हो और सरकार का साथ हो। बीते कुछ समय से सरकारों का आयुर्वेद के प्रति झुकाव अति निंदनीय रहा है । परन्तु अब मोदी जी के आने से मानो उजाले की एक नहीं अनेक किरणें प्रस्फुटित हुई दिखती हैं। आयुर्वेद मात्र हमारे स्वास्थ्य को ठीक ही नहीं रखता अपितु देश की आर्थिक स्थिति को भी सुधरता है made in india को साकार करता है । विदेशी लोग भी आयुर्वेद और योग के प्रति बहुत आकर्षित होते हैं इसीलिए यह tourism की दृष्टि से भी महत्वपूर्ण है । और भी अनेक प्रकार से आयुर्वेद देश की प्रगति और विकास में सहायक होता है था और रहेगा। आशा है की इस विचार का सम्मान किया जाएगा और देश की हालात को सुधारने के लिए इस क्षेत्र में और अधिक गंभीर प्रयास किये जाएंगे । जय हिन्द जय भारत
