		<description>wel.. this is the most topic of conversation lately.. me being an aspiring lawyer would like to tell one thing to all.. what is more important- a life with sum1 which wil end god knows wen or a safe and secure life with a safe environment. if the govt is talkin bout makin the test compulsory den your right to privacy will also be ensured. the hospital where u will get your test is not by any chance going to leak your result. always remember we Indians need a drastic step to shake us up and confront reality. Accept the fact that the statistics are not made up and that something needs to be done. what better than MANDATORY before marriage!!! think.. if u r safe so are ur children!! do not think u r not goin to be a victim and that dis disease is alien to u. it can happen to anyone at any time.. so i say YES the test shud be made mandatory.</description>

		<description>one last comment for this piece of writing of yours.

I am sorry but according to me you misinterpreted my article completely and my friends who have read your artiles by now are blaming me that even though I am libertarian, why the hell i supported any mandatory law of government?

So I must make it proper and clear, that In the same article, i commented as &quot;Me&quot;
and my comment was

@benji
It is not at all necessary to commit a mistake for getting HIV infection.
One may get that infection just because the dentist he visited was not sincere enough and used undistilled and infected tools.
One may get infected because of a barbers mistake, or may be because of a doctor’s, nurse, wardboy’s, hospitals mistakes!
To have a HIV test before making any sexual relation is quite genuine.
and I never talked of law, I talked of genuinity of HIV test and why it is necessary.
Any compulsory law is obviously not OK.
Yet, any rational step is genuine.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;
I was never in support of any mandatory compulsory law.&lt;/b&gt;

I am sorry for knocking in your article again and again, but I need to make it clear</description>

		<description>Hey there!
As you have mentioned my blog article here, i should clarify certain points.
&lt;b&gt;I didn&#039;t write that article on behalf of any governmental mandatory order. It was my personal idea of demanding HIV test and other genetic tests rather than demanding for horoscope.&lt;/b&gt;
I never supported or stated that government should enforce it as compulsory, it should be asked/demanded by girls and boys by themselves for their own and if they demand it, it is appreciable.
2nd thing is, I have written a similar article again on almost similar lines which clarifies the point I mentioned in my previous post in better way.
Here is it &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reasonforliberty.com/reason/indian-insurance-system-and-free-market.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Indian Insurance system and Free Market&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!
thanks!</description>

		<description>Irrespective of the issue of making something &quot;mandatory&#039;, it is obviously Libertarian, Libertarian n0t against Governmental Dogmatism, but against &quot;SOCIAL DOGMATISM&quot;.

I am libertarian; I oppose governmental regulations in most cases. Yet, Government becomes an advertising plank alone.
There&#039;s an idea, that marriage should be incorporated along with a HIV testing, it may be regulatory by government or by Individuals, I don&#039;t care, But it is much more important than any JanmPatri or horoscope.

Now take it to the Insurance.

USA state government opposes Insurance companies to discriminate over AIDS and other illnesses.

I say Companies should be free to discriminate. 
I say Genetic and health discrimination is proper logical and reasonable.</description>

		<description>There are many occidental countries who recommand HIV test before wedding but of course making it a State&#039;s business may be too drastic but I understand the urgence of the situation.
Great Post Juhie we can&#039;t wait to hear more from the new Rising Voices grantees</description>
