Bihar: Eunuchs take to streets to create awareness about AIDS
What was significant, the transgender community on Friday reached the Bihar assembly premises and made the political leaders aware about the deadly disease by handing them roses.
The leaders were amused to see the eunuchs engaged in their campaign and promised to lend their full support to them in their mission.
Right now, the total number of people suffering from AIDS is 79,747, as per an official report.
Of them, the 6,533 cases have been detected in the past seven months, indicating the gravity of the situation.
Experts describe unsafe sex, sex workers, migrant labourers and truck drivers as main carriers of the disease.
The Bihar State Aids Control Society has been constantly launching many programmes to make people aware about this disease yet the cases show rising trend.
