As members of civil society and representatives of People Living with HIV (PLHIV), Men who have Sex with Men, Sex Workers and Injecting Drug Users -
We note that the HIV/AIDS Bill, which was finalized by National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) in July 2006, continues to be pending with the government and has not been tabled in the Parliament till date.
Constant delay in bringing the Bill to Parliament is a cause of great concern.
We call upon NACO to -:
1. Hold a meeting with the key stakeholders to discuss the future course of action of the HIV/AIDS Bill.
2. Share the latest draft of the HIV/AIDS Bill, which the Health Ministry has sent to the Law Ministry with all the important stakeholders.
3. Speed up the process of finalizing the HIV/AIDS Bill and ensure that the Bill is tabled in the Parliament immediately.
