Karnataka Sees Surge in HIV Cases, 7,000 College Students Affected

Health authorities in Karnataka have announced a significant increase in HIV cases, citing that roughly 7,000 college students have tested positive in recent surveys. The rise is attributed to a combination of factors, including limited awareness and insufficient testing among young adults. In response, the state government has launched an intensive testing and counseling drive across major universities and colleges. Officials urge students to get tested early and to use preventive measures to curb further spread.
