Abstract
Gender equality is central to realizing the country's agenda, which risks failure without the full involvement of all members of society. But as it fails in many countries all over the world, the peril in different targeted areas have been increased. So is the case of sexually transmitted infections. The major risks are seen in the field of HIV/Aids. At present South Asia is combating a battle against HIV/Aids. Pakistan is the second largest country in South Asia and it stands only a few steps behind India and Nepal in terms of HIV epidemic. The aim of this paper is to give the people living with HIV and AIDS a platform to raise a common voice for their rights and to contribute to the national response by spreading awareness. The paper also intends the participation of the people, through encouragement, policy education and prevention, which can strive to minimize the adverse personal and social effects of stigma and discrimination towards Positive people.
