Panaji, Aug 11 (IANS): The HIV/AIDS disease has a presence in every ward and village in Goa, Health Minister Laxmikant Parsenkar told the Goa legislative assembly Monday.
Parsenkar, speaking during Question Hour, also said that the 23 suspected HIV-infected students, whose admission to a South Goa school had created controversy, were in fact not infected with the disease.
"In Goa, there is no village nor ward where there's no HIV," Parsenkar said, adding that nearly one percent of the state's 1.5 million population was infected by the disease. The health minister said the annual rate of infection was on a downward trend.

NAT (National AIDS Trust) argues in a recent report that although black African communities in the UK are disproportionately affected by HIV, "the HIV-related needs of black African communities receive neither the attention nor the resources they should from policy-makers, decision-makers and funders." In particular, NAT believes that appropriate HIV prevention needs to be scaled up, but in a way which avoids black African people feeling "targeted" or "singled out" as a risk group for HIV infection.
NAT's report also criticises the failure of primary care and other NHS services to implement guidelines on HIV testing. As a result, rates of late diagnosis remain considerably higher in African people than in other communities.
