The foreign militants operating in the state are also reported to be indulging in indiscriminate sex further raising the chances of spreading the virus.

India's health delivery system would be restructured in the next two years to provide a comprehensive package of HIV/AIDS preventive and treatment services with particular emphasis on youth, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh promised on 1 December 2005.
