AIDS Bhedbhav Virodhi Andolan
AIDS Bhedbhav Virodhi Andolan (English: AIDS Anti-Discrimination Movement), popularly known as ABVA, was India's first〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Siddhartha Gautam Film Festival Flyer )〕 AIDS activist movement, based out of New Delhi. The group received popular recognition with the publication of its pioneering report Less than Gay in 1991. Founded in 1988,〔 Through this report, ABVA advocated for civil rights of LGBTQ people to include same sex marriage, LGBT parenting, and the decriminalization of homosexuality through the repeal of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. In 1994, ABVA filed the first petition challenging the constitutionality of Section 377 in the Delhi High Court, in order to challenge prison authorities' ban on condom distribution.
==Brief Background==
ABVA got involved in AIDS activism in 1989 on hearing from women in the red-light area that doctors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) had forcibly tested than for HIV, with the help of the police. ABVA protested this action, asking that good quality condoms, humane treatment and rehabilitation schemes for HIV positive people be made a prerequisite for any government screening for HIV.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Less Than Gay )〕 In addition, it began running a free dispensary for sex workers in Delhi's GB Road District.〔http://www.sacw.net/aii/abva.html〕
Between February 1990 and August 1991, the ABVA organised several demonstrations in New Delhi to protest against the prevailing discriminatory attitude of authorities against HIV/AIDS victims.〔
The 1994 ABVA petition was filed in the Delhi high court in response to the then IG (Prisons) Kiran Bedi blocking access to condoms at Tihar Jail, India's largest prison. Reacting to claims that two-thirds of all inmates at Tihar had engaged in homosexual behaviour, Bedi said consensual homosexual behaviour was virtually unknown at Tihar and that usage of condoms would promote homosexuality.
