8000 registered 100,000 unregistered AIDS patients Program Manager of National AIDs program,

ISLAMABAD (Online): Following polio victims within its jurisdiction, Pakistan has 8000 registered AIDS patients, with at least 100,000 unregistered patients, increasing at an alarming pace.
The Program Manager of National AIDs program, Syed Javed has verified these figures, attributing the spread of AIDs to unsafe and adulterated blood transfusion and use of contaminated syringes for drug addiction, instead of much propagated infected sexual intercourse.

In a regulated sequence, the major cities thus affected stand out as (descending order) of Faisalabad, Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar.
Reports reached by ONLINE indicate 4308 registered AID patients in 2011, out of which 849 were women, with men standing at 3280, and 179 children. This increased to 5430 patients during 2012-2013, with 1660 women patients and 4147 male victims, and 227 children. Talking exclusively to the agency, the manager AIDS Program Syed Javed informed that 18 HIV-AIDS help centers were functioning in Country’s major cities of Karachi, Balochistan, Peshawar and Lahore.
Syed Javed seeks appeals to parliamentarians, commissioners and media’s health-oriented educational system to curb this rising menace.
