    October 09, 2015

    The number of AIDS patients recorded in Sri Lanka today is in the region of 2,200, said consultant on Sexually Transmitted Diseases Dr. Darshanee Wijewickrama. She disclosed this at an awareness programme at the Galle Four Gravets Divisional Secretariat.

    Dr. Wijewickrama said the actual number of AIDS patients at present is 2,173 of which 73 are children. "The tendency to contract the disease is found in the Western Province. However, there is a possibility that the total number of patients may even exceed 3,000 by taking unrecorded cases to account," she said.
