Bikaner News: A rumour that ten doctors at Sardar Patel Medical College were HIV positive went viral throughout the day, causing widespread panic within the college. However, the college administration swiftly released a statement declaring the news false and misleading. Despite this, an atmosphere of uncertainty persisted among the college’s doctors and staff.
Staff and doctors were seen trying to ascertain each other’s identities. The college administration also contacted the ART centre at PBM Hospital and the medical college in Jaipur, but no names came to light.
According to Dr. B.L. Meena, the in-charge of the ART centre at PBM Hospital, the names of those infected are registered and medication is provided after a patient tests positive. No doctor or staff member from the college is registered with the centre.

It’s a rumour; legal action will be taken

The information about 10 medical college doctors being HIV positive is completely false and baseless. Legal action will be taken against those spreading such rumours. The college administration refutes this misleading information.
