Manju and her husband are HIV positive. They were very keen to have a second child - a son. We counselled them and dissuaded them from having another child explaining the consequences. However, the desire to go ahead and try for a son was paramount for them.
Their second child is a girl. We just hope that the infant remains in good health.
It is so difficult to change their mindset. The desire to have a son in our society takes precedence over everything even at the cost of health of the parents and of the child.
