 | | PANAJI: With 3.7 million HIV positive cases in the country, second only to Africa, the AIDS scenario is definitely becoming a matter of concern and the focus shifting from the stereotyped female prostitute carrying AIDS, to the now acknowledged fact that men are far more potent transmitters. |
 | | `Positive People' has handled cases where the man who contracted the virus, passed it on to his wife and after the husband's death, she has been driven out of her home due to the social stigma associated with AIDS. |
 | | The Goa State AIDS Control Society (GSACS), which is registered with the Department of Health, focuses on intervention programmes, targeting migrant labour, sex workers, transport workers, beach boys, etc., aimed at educating the community on STDs and HIV/AIDS, STD identification and treatment and condom promotion. |
