An investigation has been launched into how 23 children who received regular blood transfusions have tested positive for HIV in the Indian state of Gujarat.
The children suffer from thalassaemia and get their blood transfusions at a public hospital in Junagadh district.
Hospital authorities have denied that the children were infected by their blood supplies.
But state authorities have launched a probe after routine tests of nearly 100 children revealed the latest cases.
About 2.5m people in India have the HIV virus, according to UN-backed government figures. Gujarat, along with Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, account for 22% of HIV infections in India.
The 23 infected children in the latest case are aged between five and 10 years.
