INDIA: A TEENAGER ALLEGEDLY INFECTED 20 YOUNG MEN WITH HIV. (PHOTO).


 In Uttarakand’s Ramnagar town, a rising public health crisis has drawn attention with a single HIV-infected teenager allegedly responsible for transmitting the virus to around 20 young men over the past 17 months. This alarming situation emerged from the Gularghatti area, where local authorities are now grappling with the implications of increased HIV cases.


Young men began seeking medical help at the Integrated Counselling and Testing Centre (ICTC) at Ramdatt Joshi Joint Hospital after experiencing severe health issues. Testing revealed that many were HIV positive, prompting an investigation that identified a common link: a 17-year-old girl from a financially disadvantaged family who is reportedly addicted to heroin.


In her quest for money to support her addiction, the teenager allegedly engaged in sexual relations with local youths, who were unaware of her HIV status. During counselling sessions, it became evident that she was the source of multiple infections among the men.


Counsellor Manisha Khulbe’s enquiries revealed that some of the infected men were married, leading to further transmission of the virus to their spouses.
