‘Found HIV: +ve’ .... HIV test before you get tested !

Guys! A week since, the blog hasn't been updated. Well, was busy with the book’s work. So, here is the freshly extracted topic from my dictionary, which I think is normal, but for few it may seem abnormal. Well, today’s topic might have given you all a little hint, but I’ll still proceed with my words:

Conversation:  A little enough!

‘Jatin? We are married couple, we don’t need permission to sleep together’ Karishma smiled. 

But, he knew that this future outcome of his will make him to lose her forever, and this was something he couldn't afford. 

So, he walked few steps backwards and replied, ‘No’ with a stiffness in his voice. 

‘What ?’ she baffled. ‘No, we cannot share the bed together’ he replied again.

‘But, what is the problem?’ she asked. 

‘Nothing’ he replied in a remorse state. 

‘Then why do you always run from me whenever I want to get close to you’ she asked. However, he didn’t answer and left the place. She was clueless and was haunted with many ‘WHY’S?’ together. 

She got her answers when, one day she opened the door of a shelf and she saw some reports. ‘Medical reports of Jatin?’ she quoted in a puzzled manner opening the envelope. Her eyes stuck on the underlined statements that :

‘Found HIV: Positive’

Her life came crashing down and things changed in seconds. 23-year-old, Karishma married for 6 months lost her self control and this ruined her life. Then, what’s next? It is now; her parents realize the importance of getting the ‘HIV test’ before her marriage. Karishma is not only the case, many such girls are undergoing the same fear and same destruction. Earlier, people from many communities believed on matching the horoscopes of their children before getting married. However, nowadays, it shall be the trend for the couples to have HIV test done before getting married.

Well, talking about the HIV test, communities have been hesitant to talk about all those AIDS related issues spreading virally in this society. It is today when the girl’s family and the groom’s family should opt to take this test and mention the true status in their wedding biodata’s. This a crucial matter and discussing such open matters in the air will not only spread awareness but will also help a relationship to lasts longer. Yes, this subject has been a matter of considering the privacy of health issues. Nevertheless, don’t you think that it is worth to welcome such open discussions before planning the futures? It has been surveyed that many lives have been lost in India due to AIDS and it is their suffer children who have been admitted in the orphanages due to their parent’s ailment. HIV test should no longer be a private affair for the families searching for the soul mates for their children.

This test will help in seeking the future care and precautious to avoid the transmission of the infection to their partners. Not only this, the pre-marriage health checkup should be ensured to seek the medical compatibility test amongst the intending couples. Now if in a case, the concerned person has been tested positive, then he’ll be diagnosed without any difficulty. It is not a subject of fear, but a subject of concern. Our pre-wedding step will definitely help in saving lives and it will also reduce new infections from spreading. This test does not discriminate a person of the basis of caste, creed or gender. Rather, this wise thing is of interest to both a groom and a bride. Yes, there are many Indian mentalities that resist taking the HIV test, but this shows that there is something wrong with their own trust. Although, this test is made mandatory, but it is upto the families whether they want to test their trust or the reports. 

Today, the ‘National Prevention plan’ on HIV has been released by the government. In some countries, many religious rights have been mandatory in churches and mosques that unless and until the couple does not take the HIV test, they won’t conduct the marriage proceedings. There are many NGOs and social welfare communities working on serving the awareness campaigns to take this test for even the orphans. Yes, considerable controversies may exist when you decide to take this test. But, just consider that there is a need for an hour awareness about your futures. So, think that the next time you fill your wedding biodata’s just see to it that you go for a HIV test. If you find partners ready  to take this test then it’s your pin of interest and if not, then this shows that both fear and concerns will distort you!
