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 pattern of transmission differs significantly from the national average of India. While unprotected sexual contact is the primary driver of HIV globally and in most Indian states, Mizoram has historically faced a severe epidemic driven by Injecting Drug Use (IDU). The sharing of needles and syringes among intravenous drug users led to a rapid spike in prevalence rates in the state. Although sexual transmission has increased as the epidemic matured (secondary transmission), the 'highest mode' or the primary driver that established the epidemic in Mizoram is identified as Intravenous Drug Use (IDU).
- Option (a) Unprotected sexual contact: While a major route, it followed the initial IDU-driven surge in Mizoram.
- Option (c) Transplacental: This refers to mother-to-child transmission, which is a consequence of the prevalence in the adult population, not the primary mode of spread.
- Option (d) Unsafe blood transfusion: This is a rare mode of transmission due to mandatory screening of blood units in government and registered private blood banks.
