Prevention only way to tackle the dreaded disease

HYDERABAD:
The Chief Minister, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, on Friday launched a huge month-long AIDS Awareness and Sustained and Holistic Action (AASHA) campaign and called for active involvement of religious heads in it.
Dr. Reddy said as prevention was the only way of tackling the HIV/AIDS menace, religious leaders could be roped in to send the message across to people.
After all, all religions infuse moral values and if people practise them they can ward off threats posed by AIDS.
The intensive campaign on a mission mode was appropriately launched from Falaknuma in the old city of Hyderabad, where talk of AIDS is a taboo and awareness level poor.
A heartening feature was that the Hyderabad MP, Asaduddin Owaisi, came along with four other party MLAs, Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri, Mumtaz Ahmed Khan, Moazzam Khan and Mohd. Muqtada Khan and several corporators.
