Sir: The staggering surge in HIV/AIDS cases has not abated as yet in Ratoderu, Larkana. Within three months, 33 lives have been lost, and 997 have been tested as HIV positives when thousands of people were screened recently. Not only is the government’s preparedness poor, but it is also insufficient and insignificant. The patients are at the mercy of circumstances-now.
Nearly, 1,204 drug addicts, 1,130 transgender, 1,612 infected by used syringes are behind the outbreak of this deadly virus in the affected area. Overall, around 95,000 individuals are said to be spreading the virus in entire Sindh, and there are 10,000 HIV/AIDS patients in the whole of province.
At last, what else Sindh Government wants to transpire that could awake it from its hibernation to act, and avoid cosmetic measures and perfunctory planning to face this full-blown fatal disease.
