In order to defeat HIV Aids

Ārogya Paramā lābha!'

(Health is the eternal wealth)

Before I go on writing this essay I like to wish every world organization who organizes ‘health awareness programs’ and think of any other effective programs to be established or implemented to minimize and eliminate health issues from the human universe every success!

Better safer than sorry.

No point closing the horse hut after a horse ran away from the hut.

Think before you leap.

Many idioms and phrases that I have learned over years comes into my mind right now.

Every person knows what HIV stands for yet let us try to think of giving it another meaning, a different meaning;

H- Health I-is V- Vital  

It is a duty of any or every local and world health organizations, the knowledgeable to H- Help those who are I- infected or affected from the issue.  The reasons or the Causes may V- Vary from country to country and region to region, continent to continent etc.

What are the ways for those who affected from the illness can help the rest of the society to minimize or to eliminate the issue?

Following came into my mind.

Be Honest about your health situation; according to my knowledge that is the very best way to minimize the issue at least from 50%. For the rest of the world it is very important that they use their Intelligence to its maximum capacity when dealing with their sex partners or life partners etc. I do not know whether some kind of an early Vaccination would help the world to secure from the issue but I am sure it will help the universe immensely.  The world can use ‘Vaccination’ as a bar or as a strong fence that has the enormous power to stop spreading the issue from person to person, village to village, region to region, continent to continent etc.

What are the ways that the others who were not affected or infected from the disease or the illness can help the persons who suffer from the illness, I believe that it is something that every authority must consider very important.

If the illness cannot be identified easily until the issue develops within the human body for about ten years, the ‘research’ world has an immense role to play and their programs or experiments shouldn’t be stopped until they find a permanent series of medication, treatment, pills or capsules or injections etc. most importantly that is not just to help those who are affected from the illness, there are very many social, psychological advantages and benefits I can think of. That is to help the innocent persons, teens, youngsters who had become or may become a victim of the issue due to not their faults but due to the faults or errors of the other society outside to them, due to selfish reasons of the cruel societies, etc.

Example; in every society you find young innocent girls fell into traps of gangs who owns ‘prostitutes supplying agencies’, girls and boys became victim of drug dealers etc. and due to any associations they maintain with unhealthy persons or with any person affected and unfortunately there are many cases reported in the past that innocents affected due to blood transfusions through insecure sources, careless ways especially when they suffer from any other particular illness that can be easily curable.

I guess that there is a trend some females from other poor or developing countries come to our country or go to other countries for instance looking for jobs and work in some of the ‘places supply prostitutes’ support spreading the issue especially if they were affected before coming to the country knowingly or unknowingly. Here I refrain from mentioning the countries I can think of and have read of.

Minimizing the issue or totally eliminating the issue cannot be done single handedly or alone for a country , isolating implementing programs unless the world together plan and implement programs necessary or useful or important to solve the issue. Any program plan and implement alone won’t give any successful result also due to the reason I mentioned above. According to what I heard from the news sources this morning in Sri Lanka, the number of men affected from the issue hasn’t decreased and is not decreasing annually though the number of females affected from the issue is comparatively very low or apparently the issue is not widely spreading among females of the country. I believe that the traditional values and norms, taboos established in a society help minimize the issue for sure if they are respected and practiced accurately.  

You need to implement any effective programs or learn the causes of the issue by carefully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the terms; ‘polygamy or monogamy’ as well, I guess. And this may help eliminate misunderstandings raised or carved inside human minds of the universe.   

I very strongly suggest that;

ü  Every school curriculum should carry a lesson to EDUCATE CHILDREN ON HIV AIDS and I am very certain that this would certainly help them, any country prevent the youth or children becoming a victim of the issue at the early or latter stage of their lives.

ü  The other IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE, EVERY COUNTRY OF ANY REGION OR CONTINENT SOCIETY MUST PLAN TOGETHER AND IMPLEMENT A PROJECT THAT THEY ISSUE A PERSONAL HEALTH CARD LIKE YOU ISSUE NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD AND BIRTH CERTIFICATE, MENTIONING the following;

·         THE BLOOD GROUP OF THE INDIVIDUAL

·         THE HEALTH CONDITIONS MENTIONING RELEVANT DETAILS OF ANY CHRONIC OR OTHER ILLNESSES THE PERSON SUFFERING FROM

·         VERY SPECIFICALLY AN ACCURATE INFORMATION OF HIV SITUATION OF THE PERSON (negative or positive)

ü  THE CARD SHOULD BE RENEWED EVERY YEAR OR EVERY FIVE OR TEN YEARS

ü   AT LEAST AND THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENTS SHOULD STRICTLY WARN THE PLACES WHICH SUPPLY AFOREMENTIONED SERVICES TO CHECK THE CARD OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO ENTERS THEIR PREMISES BEFORE SUPPLYING THE SERVICE.  

ü  THE GOVERNMENT OR RESPONSIBLE AUTHORITIES CAN ESTABLISH A PLACE IN EVERY DISTRICT OR EVEN IN EVERY GRAMASEVAKA DIVISION TO SPEEDUP THE PROCESS.

ü  IMPLEMENTING ABOVE MENTIONED PROGRAMME WON’T SUFFICIENT. MONITORING THE PROGRAMME AND IT’S ACTIVITIES THOROUGHLY AND CAREFULLY IS A MUST.

Further,

ü  I guess it is good if any foreigner entering any geographic segment that they carry the health report / card issued by the their local authorities when travelling and the report should be attached to the passport, if possible. And there should be a procedure that they check the report before any person entering a country directly at the air ports, if possible.

ü  The prostitutes supplying agencies can possibly check the report if they supply any services for any locals or foreigners at least as a social help.

Kindly do not misunderstand what I am saying or wrote above. I am not thinking of a way of labelling any person or cornering a person affected but a way to minimize or eliminate the issue in  a more very effective way other than plastering or sticking only to ‘world-wide awareness programs’. If organizing awareness programs is sufficient to cater the issue you won’t get any chances to read number increasing day by day.  

Wish you good health!
