Indian authorities recently said that more than 5.2 million people in India, out of a population of more than one billion, are living with HIV/AIDS, according to a nationwide survey last year.
Ramados, the minister in charge of union health and family welfare in India, said that India's official HIV infection figure is 5.2 million, which is far from the 5.7 million claimed by the United Nations.
According to the annual report of the United Nations AIDS Organization, the number of HIV-infected people in India reached 5.7 million last year, surpassing South Africa's 5.5 million and becoming the country with the largest number of HIV-infected people in the world.
In order to fully understand the spread of AIDS, the Indian authorities have announced that they will officially record the number of deaths due to AIDS in the country this year, not just the number of infected people, so as to effectively curb the spread of AIDS.
In India's conservative society, patients infected with AIDS are often regarded as heterogeneous, and the reason why women are infected with AIDS, nine out of ten comes from their husbands. However, once their husbands die of AIDS, these infected women are often expelled from their husband's family. In addition, they are married and not accepted by their natal families, living on the streets, and relying on charitable organizations for every meal.
The United Nations survey report shows that only 7% of the population in India who needs to receive antiretroviral therapy receives treatment, and the proportion of pregnant women infected with AIDS who receive the prevention of fetal transmission of the virus from mother to mother is even lower. 1.6 percent.
Comment
"Readers know why so many people in India get AIDS. It's very simple, because this country is the most thorough in the world in using vaccines, so it is the worst. You can understand why by looking at the statistics of the World Health Organization. We need to learn from India, and don't let the same thing happen in China. People of insight, please persuade high-level officials. As long as you meet high-level officials who have not been bribed, it will definitely work."
