HIV positive student deported

AURANGABAD, November 29: A girl student from Uganda, who had gone underground ever since she tested HIV positive last year, was traced by the police on Friday and deported to her country.

The girl had sought admission to one of the colleges affiliated to the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University. Over 500 students from various South African countries study in the city. These students are required to undertake the HIV test at the time of admission to first year courses and only on testing negative are they admitted.

When the Ugandan girl tested HIV positive she was immediately served a quot;Leave Indiaquot; notice. However the girl suddenly disappeared without giving any information to the Foreign Students Registration cell of the police.
