According to reports suspected murderer in the case involving Saraswati, he contracted HIV some 13 years prior in 2008. The accused has shared with police officials that there was no sexual relationship between him and More despite her possessive behaviour towards him; an accusation she had threatened using his admitted status as leverage
It should be noted that Sanes’ statements are yet unconfirmed, but law enforcement teams continue taking this possibility seriously as they investigate the motives behind this crime. If indeed provable true.
It would indicate an underbelly of hate-based aggression, a scenario where people who identify as being HIV-positive face serious discrimination while dealing with associated social stigmas threatening their safety. At the same time, unfortunate prejudices abound globally against those infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
This represents an opportunity to understand that acquiring a positive status doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With appropriate care and compassionate support, everyone living with HIV can lead high-quality lives. As we mourn the loss of Saraswati More, let us renew our commitment to treat all people equally and work tirelessly in building more accepting environments where every person feels free and empowered to access the help they need.
