Meghalaya Mulls Premarital HIV Testing Amid AIDS Crisis

Meghalaya Mulls Premarital HIV Testing Amid AIDS Crisis

Meghalaya is facing a serious problem with HIV/AIDS, especially in some areas.

To help, the government is thinking about making everyone get tested for HIV before they get married.

The goal is to stop the disease from spreading.

Many people aren't getting tested now, and some aren't getting the medicine they need, which is causing problems.

While the government wants to act fast, some international health groups worry that mandatory testing could be harmful.

They believe it might make people afraid to get tested, making the situation worse.

The government says that urgent action is needed to help the community.
