Pages on social media circulated a report claiming that more than 200 AIDS infections were recorded in Idlib province during July, warning of the disease's spread and calling for tighter personal hygiene measures, especially at barbershops.
Kashaf followed up on the report and contacted the director of the media office at the Idlib Health Directorate, who denied the validity of the circulating reports about recording more than 200 AIDS infections in the province during July.
Why is the news misleading?
Official denial by the concerned party: The Idlib Health Directorate, through its media office, denied the validity of what was circulated about recording more than 200 AIDS infections in the province during July, and the claim was not substantiated according to the relevant health authority.
