Even as the state records more and more cases of HIV/AIDS, the ambitious condom-vending machine project has well and truly flopped. A fact sheet of the Assam State Aids Control Society (ASACS), highlighting district-wise detection of HIV cases till December 31, 2014, reported 3,820 HIV positive cases from Kamrup (Metro) district alone. This was the highest in Assam.
