Today I accompanied Viji to Rasipuram, a nearby village where she does AIDS education and counseling before persons are tested. We met with 15 pregnant women to discuss the myths and realities of HIV. For example, many still believe that HIV is spread through the mosquito and day-to-day physical contact i.e. holding hands. Also, if the pregnant women do test positive, it is crucial that they know to come to the clinic during pregnancy. There is a pill that mothers can take during labor that will prevent mother to child transmission of HIV.
Question: Is there such a thing as "moral obligation?"
