156 AIDS-hit soldiers released
The armed forces have invalided 156 personnel with full-blown HIV-AIDS during the three-year period between 2004 and 2006.
Of the 156 personnel, 141 were from the army, nine from the navy and six from the air force.
According to a senior officer at the Southern Command here, the figures were provided by the ministry of defence in the Lok Sabha. The break-up was given by defence minister A.K. Antony in response to a query from Abu Ayes Mondal, CPI(M) MP from West Bengal.
Informed AFMS sources said that the fall in the number of personnel invalided from service corresponds with decline in the number of fresh cases of infection. Full-blown AIDS cases in the three services are down from a high of 144 in 2004 to 35 in 2006
