Abstract

According to the survey conducted in Dera Ghazi Khan district in 2017, there are around 20,000 HIV/AIDS patients in south Punjab districts. Dera Ghazi Khan alone has 1,650 patients registered with the Punjab AIDS Control Programme and, the number of unregistered patients in the district may be over 9,000. There has been a 40 per cent increase in the number of AIDS patients reported in 2017, The reason behind the increase was a lack of awareness. There are more than 200 HIV/AIDS patients living in Dera Ghazi Khan’s rural areas like Sakhi Sarwar, Kot Mubarak, Kaala, Saddaruddin, Yaaru Khosa and the tribal belt.The situation is very alarming.
