Even though, the AIDS vicitm is innocent, the first reaction they face from the people is social rejection which is sad. On top of that, there is no access to medicine. Even if I don't know for fact, I can say pretty certainly about Nepal. Then descriminaton is everywhere - in hospitals, at work, on education and so on. On everything these people have to adjust themselves as lesser of themselves. That kills them more than the disease by itself. AIDS has been labled as developing country's diseases but the irony is all the drugs are patented here is US. And, aS a WTO member (big mercy), Nepal and many other poor countries can't violate that patent and produce generic drugs. Even if you get infected with disease or not, you are going to die one day anyway. If you don't have disease doesn't mean that you are immortal. Is it? Then, why call the vicitims anything. I mean they are already punished for their faults which can't be reversed. Those who just are innocent victim suffer even more with this attitude.
