The rate of HIV/AIDS infection to continue to rise in India and many families has been devastated by it. There have been many campaigns to stop the rate of infection and death and many have been successful also. But old habits die hard and people are back to similar ways as soon as the message gets off the air. To prevent this from happening, campaigns now take a holistic approach and try to change the lifestyle of the people so that they never get infected. You can now volunteer in this campaign and educate the people of India against HIV/AIDS. You’ll also treat the patient and try to better their lives.
