Why are you posting an article published in 2005? How is it relevant to anything? This article is outdated and inaccurate.
I just read first couple of lines when I came across this - "India has the world's largest AID infested population."
Fact#1 -
India does not have the world's largest AIDS population. It has the world's third largest behind South Africa and Nigeria.
India HIV caseload seen dramatically lower | Reuters - UN USAID revised figure
Fact#2 -
India's AIDS population is in the range of 2.5 million (not 5+ million).
This has been mentioned in the source above and also, most AIDS cases in India are restricted to certain pockets in south and NE India.
Fact#3 -
India's AIDS prevalence rate is 0.30%, not 1%
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2155rank.html
Compare this with AIDS prevalence rates in developed countries -
USA - 0.6
Spain - 0.5
Portugal - 0.5
Canada - 0.4
Italy - 0.4
France - 0.4
Therefore, the AIDS prevalence rate in India is lower than that of several developed nations. As a matter of fact, the global figure is 0.80% and India's figure is 0.30%.
Yet, some people here keep presenting outdated information to taunt India. Lame really.
Thank you ingis, but some respected (!) members must keep bumping this thread by asking really really really dumb questions every few days.
Get a life pls, and concentrate on the REAL issues faced by bangladesh, don't be so obsessed with the hindoooos!
