Health is an essential input for the development of human resources and the quality of life which lead to social and economic development of the nation. Good health care facilities and services are essential for creating healthy citizen in the society. Health is considered as a fundamental human right and a worldwide social goal. A healthy person is an asset to any society. However, the illness caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and its possible fatal consequences is a major health challenge. In the absence of cure or vaccine, the enormous number of debilitating illnesses and deaths that will be caused by the rapid spread of HIV in South-east and South Asia, particularly in India, is a major developmental problem with far-reaching impact beyond the health sector. AIDS is becoming a major cause of adult mortality that challenges conventional views of public health progress. The common public should not hate or under-estimate them, instead they should love the affected people with great concern realising the fact they are also human beings and citizen of this Holy Nation who need due respect and concern from others with an attitude of altruism and compassion.
