According to this ministry's figures, so far, more than 3,000 people, including women and children, have infected with AIDS in the country.

“3,200 HIV cases have been recorded in Afghanistan, of which 75% are men and 25% are women,” said Habibullah Akhundzada, deputy of the Ministry of Public Health.

"We attempt to provide information, diagnose those who are affected, and treat them,” said Bismillah, director of the infectious diseases department of the ministry.

Meanwhile, the officials of the World Health Organization in Afghanistan said that they are working on a plan to eradicate this illness in the world by 2030.
