Do I have a right to HIV treatment?
Every person has the right to seek treatment. It is part of the right to health and the fundamental right to life.
The HIV Act requires both Central and State Governments to provide:
- Diagnostic facilities,
- 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.
