As majority of HIV infection occurs among the productive age groups, the impact on the affected families is devastating especially among low socio-economic category. The treatment facilities available to infected being very meagre in India, the present article evaluates the option of providing care in the existing public sector, by drawing a case study on one of the leading medical college from Kerala, India. This study is more appropriate and relevant, with the recent central and state governments proposal to provide universal ART to the HIV infected individuals.
