00:00District AIDS Prevention and Control Board is the board which is working in CPR.
00:09They fully support the program of Kolhapur's HIV AIDS.
00:14They provide medicines or the staff or the people who have been registered from the beginning,
00:21they get the various facilities, mainly medicines.
00:24So, our work is going on in this way.
00:27In the beginning, if a person feels that he is HIV positive,
00:32then definitely we go to the ICTC, Integrated Counseling Testing Centre
00:36and see what is the report after the test.
00:39But if the work does not stop here,
00:41if there is a negative person in him, how can he remain negative all his life?
00:44And if he is positive, then what should he do next?
00:48He is sent to ART Centre for medicines.
00:50And today, almost 14,000 patients,
00:54we do not call them patients, we call them clients.
00:57These patients are living a good life by taking medicines,
01:02the way BP and diabetes patients live.
01:07Now, if you see here, the children, when they were small,
01:10there was a time when both the parents were positive.
01:13The elderly people used to stay in the house,
01:15they used to bring the children, the children were positive.
01:17These children are now grown up.
01:19There are many of them.
01:21There is an organization called NKP Plus in Kolhapur,
01:25Network of Kolhapur People Living with HIV.
01:28We come together and provide them with many types of facilities,
01:31such as social benefit schemes,
01:34guidance for education, help,
01:38stigma and discrimination.
01:40If there is discrimination, we go there and advocate for them,
01:43explain to them.
01:44This is how the work is done.
01:46Today, we saw that almost all the children
01:51are getting some kind of education.
01:54I am proud to say that one of them has become a doctor.
01:58I just remember one case,
02:00she came to me, I do not take her name,
02:03I call her a fictional name, Anita.
02:06When Anita came to me, she was pregnant.
02:09She came with her mother-in-law,
02:12and her baby was delivered.
02:15During the delivery, she found out that she was HIV positive.
02:18She tested her husband and found out that he was already HIV positive.
02:21She was very sick.
02:23She passed away.
02:25Her mother-in-law took care of her like a daughter.
02:27She used to bring the baby and examine it regularly.
02:29Sudhaivani took the baby,
02:31and later it became negative.
02:33But her education was only 12th standard.
02:35She used to give 12th standard exams and got married.
02:38But after that, she committed suicide three times.
02:42She was counseled in different ways.
02:45Her mother-in-law also supported her.
02:48Her mother-in-law also passed away due to cancer.
02:50But she supported her.
02:52So she took education after 12th standard.
02:54She got B.Ed. and M.Ed.
02:56Today, she is a teacher.
02:58She is a permanent teacher in the school.
03:00We met her yesterday in our program.
03:02She got married again.
03:04She got married through our organization.
03:08She is HIV positive.
03:10Her second child is HIV negative.
03:12She is living a good life.
03:14She is very happy now.
03:16She got MBBS.
03:20Actually, I got B.M.S.
03:24There are many more examples.
03:27We have a doctor who got B.M.S.
03:30He is still taking further education.
03:32Since her childhood,
03:34the society criticized her.
03:36Her parents died young.
03:38Her parents died young.
03:40So her parents taught her.
03:42But her confidence is like a shield.
03:44I think we should show respect to the society.
03:46We cry every time.
03:48But we are not wrong.
03:50Even though she is HIV positive,
03:52she took medicine.
03:54She got a marriage proposal.
03:56But she gave priority to education.
03:58She gave priority to standing on her own feet.
04:00She took education in this way.
04:02Today, she has become a doctor.
04:04She is still taking further education.
04:06What is the aim of this year?
04:08The aim of this year's AIDS Day is
04:10to take the right path.
04:12The person who has to face
04:14stigma and discrimination,
04:16the society should think about it.
04:18They should help to spread the message.
04:20They should give strength.
04:22They should not be afraid.
04:24They should think about their rights.
04:26They should think about how they can stay safe.
04:28We are ready to support them
04:30through the AIDS Control Organization.
