    "content": "One thing that caught my eye was the stigma faced by people living with HIV and AIDS. The Forum of Young Parliamentarians of the IPU went into details in dealing with this. It is very critical and it strikes a chord in me that at this modern age, it is sad that some people living with HIV and AIDS still face stigma in our society. The HIV and AIDS have been with us for a long time and it is surprising that stigma is still on going. I thought it is long overdue and this issue has been got rid of, but you will appreciate that in some societies, this issue has not been buried. Somebody living within HIV and AIDS is not by choice, but by circumstances probably brought to them not because they liked it or because they were in control of it. It is upon us as a society to empathise with them. It is upon us to realise that having HIV and AIDS is not the end of the world and with proper care and nutrition, life can continue. I like what is in the Report and echo that it is a job that was well done to actually align the issues and the challenges faced by this minority group in the society. Having HIV and AIDS is not the end of the world and it is not an individual disease. When a family member is suffering from this, the entire family suffers."
