Regarding HIV in India

[jackofallgeeks]

This article talks about a boy who was kicked out of school (well, 'sent home and told to never come back') because he was HIV-positive. And apparently it's not the first time, nor isolated incidents. There's apparently at least one (I would imagine several) school specifically for HIV-positive children.

My response: What? Why? Last I heard, you couldn't get HIV from proximity or touch. It's not communicated except through bodily fluids, right? So why kick a four-year old to the street?

He might get a bloody nose? ::rolls eyes:: As we all know, people are an idiot.
