"The research hypothesis was that many affected children are excluded from services and benefits which are available to other children in their communities - including education, health care and the support of their extended families and communities. While this belief is widely supported by networks of HIV-positive people and NGOs working in the field of HIV/AIDS, no formal studies had been conducted in India to test it.
The study objectives were to establish whether this hypothesis is true and, if so, the nature and severity of barriers to those services, and what steps can be taken to overcome them. The underlying rationale was that removing barriers to mainstream services could materially benefit a large proportion of children affected by HIV/AIDS, and reduce the number of children requiring targeted interventions."
