India: Living with HIV

Lives in Focus had a videolog of an interview with Raj, a person living with HIV. “Raj is among the approximately five to ten percent of the global HIV+ population that was infected through contaminated blood five years ago. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated in 2003 that nearly seven percent of AIDS patients who have reported their condition to the National AIDS Program in India acquired the virus after a transfusion of blood or blood-related products like plasma.”
