In a recent article from the BBC it was reported that India would make HIV testing mandatory in order to do something about the growing HIV epidemic. Currently, there are over five million Indians living with the disease. For more information, click here.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, it could prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and help people seek treatment. On the other hand, it's an invasion of privacy.
Maybe instead of mandatory, India should offer free testing. Unfortunately, they barely have the money and resources to deal with the number of illnesses now.
What are everyone else's opinions on this?
