Of them, 47 have passed away thus far, and many more are receiving care. In the meantime, how did the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) spread so quickly and widely? This is the biggest question.
Significant Discovery by the Tripura AIDS Control Society
The Tripura HIV Case, organized by the Tripura AIDS Control Society, has also given attention to this issue, produced a report, and made a significant discovery. Under such circumstances, allow us to explain in full the cause of the HIV epidemic and the findings of the AIDS Control Society report. Up until now, 828 students enrolled in Tripura’s colleges and institutions have tested positive for HIV.
It is confirmed that 47 of these pupils died. Drug addiction is the primary cause of HIV transmission among students, according to a research published by the Tripura AIDS Control Society. In most of Tripura’s schools and colleges, students use drugs, according to an AIDS Control Society report. Students using HIV-positive patients’ needles (injections) to inject narcotics has shown to be extremely lethal. In addition, risky sexual behavior has been a significant contributing factor to the HIV epidemic.
