How Can I tell if I am affected with HIV?

The only way to determine whether you are infected is to be tested for HIV infection. You can't rely on symptoms to know whether or not you are infected with HIV. Many people who are infected with HIV don't have any symptoms at all for many years.

Similarly, you can't rely on symptoms to establish that a person has AIDS. The symptoms associated with AIDS are similar to the symptoms of many other diseases. AIDS is a diagnosis made by a doctor based on specific criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Bulk Upload users into LDAP Directory

In this post I am not going to talk about setting up your LDAP using OpenLDAP. There are lots of websites explaining that.

In the past I have gone to the Police station to file a complaint, have gone to the court to file a case. In all these instances I did not get justice, they only added on to my problems. These experiences have taught me that in India (my country) it is easier to solve problems on our own than going to the police station or court. Which means a common man like me does not get free quality education, free quality medical facilities, and easy justice in this country despite paying taxes. The recent brutal gang rape has compelled me to write something about it. The protest is result of the above mentioned situation faced by the entire nation. Its clear everyone is totally upset about the current situation of the state and the government's zero effort to improve it. Every case (including rape cases) take ages in the court and it takes almost a decade for conviction. Above all the conviction rates are low as well. The police has the duty of putting culprits behind bars but it totally
