Abstract
The paper analyses various issues in connection with the privacy of HIV infected people in India. It also investigates the stigma and discrimination as well as privacy challenges faced by the people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) communities in India. The primary goal of the study is to gather information regarding the statistics, prevalent rate of HIV infection among various groups including vulnerable sections, root causes of HIV infection, human rights and humanitarian issues and contributions of governmental and non-governmental agencies in India for AIDS awareness programmes. Thanks to the contributions of NAACO and other voluntary organisations there is a decline of HIV prevalence rate in India. Due to the stigma and discrimination, the HIV infected people are afraid of disclosing their status. For the Prevention of the further spread of HIV, disclosure of HIV-positive status is imperative. In a human right perspective privacy of HIV infected people should be protected.
