The experience of infected people during the last two decades has
shown that HIV is not the "end of the world" and that
there is good quality life for several more years. Taking care of
one's health, keeping in mind one's vulnerability to diseases, and a
positive attitude have been found to be very useful. New drugs and
vaccine efforts also offer considerable hope to infected and
affected individuals and their families. Several NGO/CBOs,
Government organizations, public and private institutions offer
ongoing support to people in need.
