Therefore RK doctors and AIDS centers face a task of halting the infection. "Doctors nowadays waste a lot of time to identify contacts of an HIV-infected. However prophylactics are no less important", he observed. Doctors and AIDS centers should be more vigorous setting up syringes exchange points and enforcing prophylactics.
