The continuing spread of HIV/AIDS poses a threat not only to Public Health in India but also to the well-being of the society at large. The human suffering and the impact of the problem can be mitigated by a response which, led by the Government, involves all sections of the civil society including non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations.

This booklet is the outcome of a successful gathering and discussion by the leadership and volunteers of the Isha Foundation with over 500 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHAs), on positive living. The booklet, in the form of question answers, depicts several personal stories narrated by the PLHAs and the answers to their questions in an emotional, compassionate and spiritual style, thus giving a face to human problems. Every personal story and the response reminds the readers that even the most difficult situations can be used as opportunities for getting strength to face the problem boldly.
