India has an estimated 20.9 lakh people living with HIV. However, nearly 30 -35 percent of these do not know there HIV status. After a person gets infected with HIV, there is a long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years when infected person may not have any symptoms till his immunity goes down significantly and he start getting different opportunistic infection like TB, diarrhoea, fungal infection etc. Hence most of the HIV infected persons present to health system in late stage when immunity is very low and their response to treatment may not be optimal. Also during this long asymptomatic period of 5-8 years, though they are infected but may not be aware of HIV status and are capable of spreading the infection their spouse or others if they continue to indulge unprotected sex.

Early detection of PLHIV is beneficial for patient himself as he can receive timely appropriate treatment including ART as well as for the community to stop further transmission of HIV.

We invite suggestion from community/ NGO/ CBO/ Civil society and public at large their views/ ideas on How to facilitate early detection of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and put them on ART as soon as possible.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 26th November, 2014.

Dear Sir, Have your ministry any plan to open CGHS Dispensary at remote state Tripura. As a north east state there is no medical facility for all central govt serving and retire employees as well as all paramilitary forces personnel who are deployed at Indo-BD border and Militant operation.

As per my thinking, while government does make other AIIMS level hospital in east UP, meanwhile why should not improvise the facilities of BHU hospital as AIIMS. That will help to reduce the burden of AIIMS Delhi. Because, lots of patients come from east UP and Bihar due to lack of facilities, and they have to pay alot and suffering.

Health insurance policies should be made compulsory for every Indian and frauds and cheating by private insurers must be stopped. Private insurers like Apollo, Max Life etc. are looting Indians like anything. They design their policies in such a way that it will always create loss to customer. IRDA seems to be involved in such scams. We should raise our voice for these cheater Companies. I am afraid that Lakhs of Crores of rupees already looted by these Companies in India. I am ready to fight.

Apollo Heath Insurance is a cheater Company. There should be some strict punishment provided for private insurers for cheating and gulping Crores of rupees of general public by issuing high valued health policies on false papers including false medical reports submitted by their trained agents, who are well trained for this kind of cheating. some medical centers are hand in gloves with them. poor customers are denied claims when needed. please do something. i have concrete proof of this.

The Indian government or any organisation in India can run a single day campaign or a blood testing week for all government officials and employers in an organisation , this will provide update of ones health status as well as we can identify whether the person is infected by HIV or not

Dear Modi Ji, There is very painful situation of health insurance in India. Private Insurers train their agents to make fool of poor Indians by talking sweetly and convincing them to take policies. Poor policyholder never understand their tactics, they just take signatures of customer and fill up forms themselves and put all wrong information and even get false medical reports without customer's knowledge to get the policy issued to earn their commission and give business to his Company. Please
