Two-month-long campaign in Jharkhand to end discrimination towards HIV patients

The announcement was made during the launch of the intensified IEC (information, education, communication) campaign. Project Director of Jharkhand State AIDS Control Society Pawan Kumar said the campaign will be run at the district, block and village level. Kumar said that HIV infection does not spread by shaking hands or hugging an infected person, nor does it occur by wearing the infected person's clothes or eating with him.
