Chingngaihlian (name changed) was 23 years old when she was diagnosed with HIV in 2016. A year later she lost her youngest child, due to the disease. A resident of Saikul village in the Churachandpur district of Manipur, Chingngaihlian is now a single mother of three after her husband left her for another woman in the same village. “He left me when he got to know that I was having HIV. But he was the one who transmitted the disease,” she said.
