Over 7,000 students in Karnataka have tested HIV positive, prompting the state government to take action. The affected students are between 18 and 25 years old.

A significant number of students in Karnataka have been found to be HIV positive, with over 7,000 cases reported among those aged 18-25. This alarming trend has led the state government to consider implementing mandatory HIV testing. The government's move aims to identify and support those affected, ensuring they receive the necessary medical care and attention. The high incidence of HIV among young adults in the state has raised concerns about the need for increased awareness and education on the disease.
