World Vision India concerned over HIV deaths in Manipur
Times of India | TNN | Jul 14, 2011, 10.49pm IST
Taking serious note of the increasing number of deaths of People Living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIV) despite anti-retroviral treatment (ART), World Vision India (WVI) has urged the government to urgently frame a policy to address the problem.
WVI, a Christian humanitarian organization working to bring about changes in the lives of children, families and communities living in poverty, said such people have a very alarming prevalence of Hep-C co-infection with HIV.
During an interactive session with PLHIV and reporters held in Imphal on Wednesday, David said, "People Living with AIDS are dying of liver complications caused by this co-infection and the side effects of ART. This needs to be addressed by the state offering free PCR testing and treatment for Hep-C co-infection."
