Do I have a right to HIV treatment?
Every person has the right to seek treatment, as part of the fundamental right to life, including the right to health.
The Central and State Governments are to take measures, as far as possible, to provide:
- Diagnostic facilities related to HIV
- Anti-retroviral Therapy (ART) (the main treatment for HIV)
- Opportunistic Infection Management, and
- For pregnant women with HIV, counselling and information about treatment and the effects of HIV on pregnancy.
