The main cause of the spread of HIV/AIDS was sexual contacts and extra-marital affairs was the main culprit in this regard, the minister said while inaugurating the Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART) centre at Lunglei yesterday.
Anti Retroviral treatment had been given to 1,288 people in Mizoram which included 75 children, according to Dr Eric Zomawia, project director of the Mizoram State AIDS Control Society.
Most of the people given ART have responded well, Zomawia added.
