From today'sAge:
"The council in Budni, in the state of Karnataka, has decided that the only way to curb the spread of HIV is to make sure that no HIV-positive person marries and passes it on to their spouse.
"We are fed up with boys living in the cities coming to marry our girls, going off after the marriage and then finding that the girl, who stayed behind, has got the virus. It's ruining young lives," council head Shrikant Prasad said.

"I don't oppose premarital testing, but we have to be aware that it could spark off a new industry in fake negative certificates," said Ashok Khanna, an AIDS volunteer worker in Bangalore.
An estimated 5.7 million people in India are afflicted with AIDS/HIV, more than any other country in the world."
