KARACHI: 38,000 vulnerable to HIV in city
This is really an alarming situation. According to Dawn report:
The geographical mapping carried out in a pilot survey conducted by the National Aids Control Programme along with HIV/Aids Surveillance Project reveals that an average of 38,000 of high risk people vis-à-vis HIV/Aids are present in Karachi and the majority of them are living in Saddar Town .
The survey showed 5,078 (13.3 per cent) of the total high-risk people live in Saddar Town followed by Baldia Town 4,967 people (13 per cent) and Lyari 3,866 people (10.1 per cent).
Besides, 2,590 high-risk people were reported in DHA which accounted for 6.8 per cent of a total of 38,097 people in Karachi
I am a bit surprised but…
It says 12,282 HRAs are injecting drug users (IDUs), 11,546 are female sex workers (FSWs), 8,582 are eunuch sex workers (ESWs) and 5,687 are male sex workers (MSWs).
All the high-risk groups were mostly between 20-30 years. More than 40 per cent of all these groups were illiterate.
It means people in Defence are also illetrate?
Great stuff Mush and Co. Today they are 38,000, tomorrow they might be 3,8000. Now could any pro-Mush tell me what kinda bill would help to control this situation?
I don’t accept excuses that people were illetrate. As long as you are away from religion, you will suffer more. Allah already informed us about different diseases we could face.
