About 10,000 of them have been identified. Those who are receiving regular government treatment. Most of these AIDS patients have returned home with AIDS from Middle East and African countries. Back home they are infecting their close family members. While returning home, they did not even know that they had come with AIDS. That&#8217;s why we have decided, like those who are tested for AIDS before leaving the country, if they are HIV negative and then go abroad, they will be re-tested while entering the country. This will make it easier to provide proper treatment to the affected, on the other hand, other safe family members will also be spared from this disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The health minister said these things in the speech of the chief guest at the discussion meeting organized on the occasion of World AIDS Day at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital this morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The health minister said about the treatment of AIDS patients in the country, &#8220;At present, the government is giving free treatment to AIDS patients. AIDS patients can live longer with treatment. However, thinking about social barriers, they keep it a secret if they have AIDS and infect others without revealing it to anyone. Due to this, the number of AIDS patients in the country is increasing day by day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note that the first AIDS patient was diagnosed in the country in 1989. Only 0.01 percent of the general population of the country and 4.1 percent of those involved in prostitution are infected with AIDS. Most of the AIDS patients enter the country from countries in the Middle East and Africa region. As of 2022, there were 947 new cases of AIDS and 232 deaths. According to the data, from 1989 to 2022, a total of 9708 people were affected and 1820 people died.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Health Services Department Additional Secretary (Administration Division) Md. Additional Secretary (Population, Family Welfare and Law Division) also attended the meeting under the chairmanship of Saidur Rahman. Ashrafi Ahmed, NDC, World Health Organization representative Rajendra Pokhara, Additional Director General (Administration) of the Directorate of Health Prof. Dr. Ahmedul Kabir, line director Dr. Khurshid Alam and other officials.
