A positive step...



2) This Ad really moved me. It is really heartening to know that someone 
who is HIV positive has had the courage to be open about it in a very casual and
matter of fact manner. The rest of the Ad is just like any other matrimonial ad...
It is an act of maturity and strength. 

If viewed in our social context, the ad is fearless against the stigma attached with HIV and reflects a mindset which is willing to accept a divorcee/widowed HIV+ girl for an unmarried boy

It also indicates, that somewhere people are accepting HIV as a 
clinical condition, where the person can continue living a normal life, 
can marry, maybe even have children.
This is indeed a big step for our society!
