Support and Health Care Assistance for India’s LGBT

Description

The SOUTH INDIA POSITIVE NETWORK (SIP+) is a non-profit organization that offers support through numerous services for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA's) in South India, assisting them in overcoming constraints and difficulties faced in their day-to-day lives.
Established on 10th October 2001, SIP+ was founded in response to the alarming speed with which HIV was spreading, and the lack of medical/ psychosocial/ economic support available to its victims in South India.

SIP's objective is to include everyone, regardless of whether male, female, child, eunuch, CSW (commercial sex worker), or gay, and bring together communities of people living with HIV/AIDS forming a statewide network. Registered under the Society Registration Act 1975, SIP+ is currently made up of 1500 positive members living all over the south of India.
