India: Court finds government has constitutional obligation to provide ARVs to released prisoner.
On 5 May 2004 the High Court of Delhi upheld an HIV-positive person's fundamental right to access treatment and medicines. This is a significant decision, given the number of people in India estimated to be infected with HIV. The decision will have implications for the government's rollout of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy.
