| 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 NGOs/CBOs, government organisations, public and private
institutions offer ongoing support to people in need. Click
