Abstract
The panelists also discuss ideas to improve the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS as well as future worries and uncertainties. Through in-person interactions, this has aided in firsthand knowledge acquisition. Those who receive
an HIV diagnosis have a difficult time adjusting to the fact that there is now no therapy for the illness and that access to it is restricted in many regions of the world. After receiving an HIV diagnosis, the majority of respondents (81.7%) were unable to accept that they were infected with the virus, whilst the remaining 18.3% were able to accept their infection. Additionally, encouraging print media such as newspapers and magazines to run awareness-raising efforts to lessen stigma, prejudice, and harassment.

Abstract
High rates of malnutrition and lost productivity are caused by poor sanitation, which also negatively affects health. According to estimates from the World Bank, India's poor sanitation contributes to a disease burden that costs the nation around 6% of its GDP. Children are more impacted than adults because infections are spreading so quickly that it limits their capacity to absorb nutrition, wh ich stunts their growth. India has historically neglected public health services, which contributes to this unsanitary atmosphere. An abnormally high illness burden is the consequence of a highly populous nation without an efficient public health network. In India, around 48% of children are undernourished to some extent. As per UNICEF, respiratory infections and diarrheal illnesses spread by
water are the leading cause of death for children in India. Children who experience regular bouts of diarrhoea are more susceptible to opportunistic illnesses including pneumonia and malnourishment. A very high danger of microbiological contamination (bacteria, viruses, amoeba) of water, which causes diarrhoea in children, exists since 638 million people defecate in the open and 44% of mothers dispose of their children's waste in the open. Additionally, two serious health issues that afflict schoolchildren and have an influence on their learning capacities are worm infections and diarrhoea.
