Over 6,800 HIV Patients Lost in Maharashtra

In the last five years, more than 6,800 people in Maharashtra who have HIV have stopped going to their treatment centers.

This is a big problem because they need to take medicine every day to stay healthy.

Experts say that people are not getting enough information about HIV anymore, which is one reason why this is happening.

Some people also move to different places, feel ashamed about having HIV, or have trouble going to the doctor because they work too much.

A few places like Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Sikkim have no one stopping treatment, which shows it can be done right.

But in Maharashtra, many people are still not getting the help they need.
