  CHENNAI May 18th 2008: Scores of HIV-infected people, volunteers and students took part in a rally organized as part of the 25th International AIDS Candle Light Memorial Day and Global AIDS Week Action observed here on Sunday. The participants raised slogans demanding that the HIV Bill be passed in Parliament.

According to the National AIDS Control Organization, there is a decline in the number of HIV-infected persons in Tamil Nadu. Yet, providing them access to treatment and services remains a challenge with stigma, the lack of awareness and the non-availability of
       services in some areas Tabling the Bill in Parliament will ensure that HIV-positive people have better access to services, the
       organizers - INP+ and other civil society organizations in Chennai, said.
