IMPHAL, Aug 19: In spite of the remarkable decrease in the spread of HIV/AIDS among the IDUs, awareness among the younger children about the mode of transmission is still very low.
Class VI student Sonan of Christ Jyoti said, "I painted a person in hospital bed being given glucose with the doctor standing nearby." He said that he heard about HIV/AIDS from elders and from TV. Explaining the condition, he said, "HIV/AIDS cannot be cured by medicines and it is one of the most difficult illness."
Rohan of Shishu Nistha Niketan said that he heard about HIV/AIDS from his parents. He said that HIV/AIDS is a virus that spreads a highly communicable disease which takes time to recover. He painted the map of Manipur below a big syringe.
For Priya Khuraijam, class VI student of RK Sanatombi Devi School, her father told her about HIV/AIDS and said that syringes should never be shared and one should be careful all the time to not get HIV.
Her classmate Sonalika painted skeletal, syringes and blood testing as her vision of HIV/AIDS. She said that the skeletal shows the harmful effects of using drugs.
