Infectious diseases experts have pointed towards poor Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices as the main culprit behind the rising incidence of HIV among children, adding that the reuse of syringes and IV drips by quacks and even some registered medical practitioners in rural Sindh is the major mode of transmission, Geo News reported.

传染病专家已经指出，预防和控制（IPC）实践是儿童艾滋病毒发病率上升的主要罪魁祸首，并补充说，注射器的重复使用和Quacks的重复使用，甚至是Quacks drips drips，甚至是Quacks drips and Quacks and IV滴水，甚至是Sindh农村地区的一些注册医生据GEO News报道，主要传输方式。

"When we test parents of these children, most of the time, they test negative, while in many cases, even other siblings of these HIV-positive children test negative for the virus. This indicates that poor IPC and unsafe injection practices are the leading cause of HIV transmission among children," said Dr Faisal Mehmood, head of the infectious diseases department at the Aga Khan University Hospital.

“当我们测试这些孩子的父母时，大多数情况下，他们测试阴性，而在许多情况下，甚至这些HIV阳性儿童的其他兄弟姐妹都测试了该病毒的阴性。这表明IPC和不安全的注射习惯差是领先的儿童艾滋病毒传播的原因。”阿加汗大学医院传染病部门负责人Faisal Mehmood博士说。
