Extramarital Sex Spreading HIV/AIDS in Mizoram
Several healthcare groups have urged the powerful church in the Christian-dominated state to help prevent promiscuity among married people.
"I think we need to take a serious look at our society and the church also has a role to play in educating and counselling married couples," said Mahlimi Hmar of the Centre for Peace and Development in Aizawl.
Mizoram is listed as the seventh highest HIV/AIDS prevalent state in India with the northeast considered a high-risk zone.
"We may be a high-prevalence state, but we also need to highlight that Mizoram is one of the very few states in India to test blood samples. We have already tested one-third of our total 1.2 million population," Ropari said.
The Mizoram government has enlisted the support of various social organisations, including the influential Central Young Mizo Association, to spread a massive awareness drive.
"Churches, NGOs and other social organisations are working with us," Ropari said.
