Loss of jobs and financial difficulties.disremination increases the negative impact of the HIV epidemic. The principle of non-discrimination is central to the human rights philosophy and practices and natural justice. All states governments; communities and individuals have the same responsibilities to respect and ensure human right for all individuals.
