Ignorance about AIDS rampant in eastern UP

Filed under:

There is still widespread ignorance about AIDS in rural UP and poor health services have made the situation worse.

Glass syringes are still being used without sterilisation. One village in eastern UPs Kushinagar district has seen two deaths from AIDS in the last four months.

So now people here, many of whom are semi-literate, have begun asking young men from their families working in Mumbai and other big cities to get themselves tested for HIV before returning home.

They have become suspicious, so most of us now are getting the tests done and coming back with our reports, said a local.
