Lakshmi Laughter is contagious. His side of the room is the most active, laughing out loud to attract curious glances. You know, I always make sure that people around me are happy, he says. 36 years, manages its base in the Temple. Buy cold drinks, chocolate, etc. I also manage local hall in the temple. I rent tasks and to maintain it.

Lakshmi day starts at 4 in the morning I opened my shop at 8 am and close 18:00, is also much to do in the temple. I'm already on my fingers until I go to bed, she smiles. Life has been good so far, he added. It 'been nine years since it happened.

Lakshmi is HIV positive and has worked hard to clear herself and her two children since. Today is a day of remembrance for her. She participates in Memorial Day candlelight organized by the Coimbatore district of HIV Ullor Nala Sangam (CDHUNS) and District AIDS Prevention and Control Unit.

The collection consists mainly of widows and children. Some women talk to their neighbors, while some are very thoughtful; staring at a table nears the stage.

The scheme is framed with flowers, photos are attached to it. These are the people who died because of HIV in the past year, Jaya said. Her husband died three months ago. He is also HIV positive. He is currently working in the textile showrooms. Vijaya, including those with HIV has worked in weaving. Sumathi is a tailor and Lalitha is a daily wage laborer.

There are some who have been forced to turn cleaning products for a living after the death of their husbands. When my husband was alive, who rarely left the house? But now that my children depend on me, took responsibility, says Jaya. But women are optimistic. My husband died in 2003. At that time, there is no awareness about AIDS. He chose to hide from us and have not undergone any treatment. Perhaps he feared that discrimination, says Latha.

But now that the tablets of art (antiretroviral drugs) are available for free at the government hospital, I'm afraid of the disease. As long as I have a healthy diet and take my pills, I cannot live a normal life, he smiles. Candlelight memorial opens in silence. Participants are committed to helping people with HIV, and to do their best to prevent the loss of lives due to illness.
