Some hope for HIV-positives

The state government of Kerala has become the first to reserve a government job for HIV-positive candidates. Being an HIV-positive doesn't necessarily means one has AIDS. It only is an indication of their vulnerability.
The Kerala State AIDS Control Society (KSACS) has invited applications from the graduate candidates suffering from the disease for the post of coordinator with the organisation.
The candidate should have three years of experience working with HIV related matters.

Homosexuals have some good news

The Union health minister, Ambumani Ramadoss, has advocated legalizing homosexuality. Only recently, however, his Government had passed a law relating to prostitution that makes it so easier for the police, and the like, to harass anyone in the name of protecting female sex workers.
The minister says India was witnessing a stabilisation of the HIV epidemic. And thus, his ministry favoures legalising homosexuality. It also stood for removing discrimination against other vulnerable sections in the society like the sex workers.
He says such moves will help contain spread of the dreaded HIV virus.
