Assam Tribune | Imphal, Dec 5
Sexual contact has now become the primary cause for transmission of HIV/AIDS virus in Manipur.A 2016-17 survey by the Manipur AIDS Control Society (MACS) said the virus is now transmitted through sexual relationship in 78 per cent of HIV/AIDS transmission cases in the state.
While 15 per cent are due to sharing of syringes, the remaining 7 per cent are attributed to parent-to-child transmission, the survey said.
“Penetration of HIV/AIDS into the general populace has changed to sexual route over the last 10 years unlike earlier when the virus used to spread through sharing of syringes among injecting drug users,” MACS Project Director Valentina Arambam told PTI.
