NEW DELHI: As the government continues deliberations with NGOs over the HIV/AIDS bill, the legislation aimed at preventing discrimination of those infected with the dreaded disease at workplace, education and healthcare sectors, has been delayed.

"The HIV/AIDS bill has been delayed because we are still carrying out discussions with more NGOs on the issue," Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss said.

The minister had earlier announced that the bill will be introduced in the Budget session of the Parliament.

Dear Forum,

You may aware that people living with HIV in Rajasthan are getting 75% travel concession in state transport buses for the cause of treatment.

A committee of three Govt. representative medical officers at district level is issuing a photo identity card that to be produced to any state transport bus conductor to claim the concession, where it is clearly mentioned that the holder
of the card is "HIV POSITIVE" along with actual Name, Father's Name and Address.
