( expected to drop even further said Dr...)HIV mortality in India drops with introduction of generic antiretroviral therapy

expected to drop even further, said Dr. Kumarasamy--comes further encouragement for Indian HIV patients to seek treatment. "Voluntary counseling centers are being set up in public hospitals and in centers where persons with high risk for HIV seek medical attention," Dr. Kumarasamy said. Such centers offer pre- and post-test counseling, which includes medical counseling on HIV care, like ART. Making HIV-infected people aware of affordable treatment options is an important additional step toward curbing the spread of a deadly disease in a resource-poor country.
