The reason for the sudden increase in cases of HIV (AIDS) infection in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh has been revealed. ICMR said on Saturday, the reason for the spurt in AIDS cases in Unnao district in 2017-18 has been the unsafe use of injections during treatment and intravenous intravenous injections during the last five years.
