Weak and feeble, she went into acute depression and began to lose hope in life. • She then came in contact with a NGO. Kausar was counseled and treated in the drop-in center and was also facilitated a CD4 test. Kausar had no money for the necessary medical treatment so she was referred to the appropriate antiretroviral treatment center at a local government hospital.

The NGO also provided her training in embroidery and Kausar began to earn 2000 rupees per month. • Today, Kausar is living with her children. After receiving training in peer education and home-based care services for HIV/AIDS patients, she now works with the same NGO making home visits and providing encouragement and care to people living with HIV/AIDS. • Kausarhas also become a strong and vocal advocate for the rights of HIV/AIDS infected patients, especially women.

Key features of HIV epidemic globally • 25 countries, since 2001, have reduced new infections by > 50% • Half of all reductions in new HIV infections in the last two years have been among newborn children. In 2011, new infections in children were 43% lower than in 2003, and 24% lower than 2009. • In the past two years there has been a 60% increase in the number of people accessing life-saving treatment. • The number of people dying of AIDS- related causes fell to 1.7 million in 2011, a decline of 24% since the peak in 2005. • In sub-Saharan Africa, annual new infections in 2011 reached 1.7 million people, including 300,000  children.

  36. Social protection for people living with HIV • Thirty-five year old HariharBabu had a comfortable job as a taxi driver earning Rupees 10,000-12,000 every month. He travelled frequently, driving passengers all over his home state of Chhattisgarh in central India. But all this changed in 2007 when he and his wife tested HIV positive. • “I thought that as long as I kept quiet about my illness, it would not affect my family or income,” he said. • But the bouts of illness became longer and driving over long distances became impossible for him. In addition to dealing with the stigma of living with HIV, Babu saw his income decline by 50 percent.

  37. Social protection for people living with HIV • In January 2011, Babu and his family received monthly food rations through a nationwide scheme that provides subsidized food to families living below the poverty line. He and his family found relief thanks to a special amendment approved by the Chhattisgarh government to include people living with HIV. • Babu’s family can now buy rice, sugar and salt at nominal prices. This support has gone a long way in ensuring the family has enough nutrition in times of distress
