HYDERABAD:The state government proposes to set up HIV testing centres

at the primary health centres and anti-natal counselling centres in

all the assembly constituencies, according to Chief Minister N

Chandrababu Naidu.

Intervening in a discussion under Rule 304 on AIDS, Naidu urged the

MLAs and religious leaders to extend a helping hand to the government

in containing the " menace " .

He said the government has decided to further streamline the blood

banks and sensitise local bodies to pay special attention to create

awareness among the villagers. Government would also introduce sex

education in the curriculum at the Intermediate level, he added.

Naidu appealed to the religious and political leaders to speak about

the need to control AIDS at the end of every programme they

participate in.
