India is home to 2.3 million HIV positive people; it makes us so proud to know that someone like Miss Zinta, who holds the position to create awareness about AIDS, is taking her responsibility so seriously.

Preity is a beauty with brains and is doing good for the community in some way or the other. We dont care what her ulterior motives are.Definitely appreciate what she is doing as AIDS is a serious issue even in rural areas and is spreading dangerously in an ever growing population like Indias.

Poor people's problem is not HIV. It is poverty and illiteracy. Without addressing that nothing will happen. Frustrated, neglected lot of people tend to remove their frustrations in those 4-5 second moments. At that time they dont care about using precaution. Life has no value in India. All this is meaningless without addressing root cause problem. Govt is corrupt and defunct.
