The highest mode of HIV/AIDS transmission in Mizoram state is-

A) Unprotected sexual contact
B) Intravenous drugs user
C) Transplacental
D) Unsafe blood transfusion
In the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Mizoram, the state has historically faced a unique challenge compared to the national average in India. While unprotected sexual contact is the primary driver of HIV globally and in most Indian states, Mizoram has a very high prevalence of Injecting Drug Use (IDU). The sharing of needles and syringes among intravenous drug users (IDUs) has been the dominant mode of transmission in the state, leading to a concentrated epidemic among people who inject drugs (PWID), which subsequently spread to their sexual partners. Therefore, for Mizoram specifically, intravenous drug use is recognized as the highest/primary mode of transmission. - Option (a) is a major mode but secondary to IDU in the specific epidemiological profile of Mizoram. - Option (c) refers to mother-to-child transmission, which occurs but is not the primary driver of the epidemic. - Option (d) is rare due to improved blood screening protocols in government and private blood banks.
