A fraud medical practitioner in Uttar Pradesh, India used an HIV-infected needle to treat 20 people which spread the infection.

‘A fraudulent doctor ended up giving the dreaded HIV infection to almost 20 people after he used the same infected needle to treat all the victims.’

How Did it Happen?




The truth was revealed when an NGO organized a health camp in the village in November 2017 where they discovered that a 'high number' of people were carrying HIV symptoms, the report said.
As per reports, the quack, Rajendra Kumar in some media reports, ended up giving the dreaded HIV infection to almost 20 people after he used the same infected needle to treat all the victims in the guise of 'cheaper treatment'.
"40 positive cases have been found. If proper tests are done, at least 500 cases would come up. It is being told that the people here used to go to a quack for treatment of diseases. He used a single syringe on all of them," said Bangarmau Councillor, Sunil.
