Meghalaya Mulls Mandatory HIV Testing Before Marriage

The government of Meghalaya is thinking about making it a rule to get tested for HIV before you get married.

This is because a lot of people in the state have HIV/AIDS.

The health minister wants to take strong action.

Right now, the state has the sixth-highest number of HIV cases in the country.

The government is creating a new policy.

The biggest problem is that not enough people get tested.

If people get treatment, HIV/AIDS is not a death sentence, just like other diseases.

The health minister mentioned that the most common way HIV spreads is through sexual contact.
