Is enough being done to combat AIDS/HIV in Suriname?

India has most HIV cases outside South Africa

India has the largest number of people living with the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus outside South Africa, and most infections were acquired sexually, though drug use through injection dominated some states in the country's north-east, a fact sheet issued by UNAIDS has said.

'In this area, infection levels of 60 to 75 per cent have been found among injecting drug users using non-sterile injecting equipment,' the UN body said.

In many parts of India, HIV transmission through sex between men is also a major concern, the fact sheet said, adding that research showed some men who had sex with men may also have sex with women.
