A fact check revealed that the alleged claim appears to be unverified. No credible news reports or officials have confirmed that a girl infected 800 men with HIV and was caught in Patna. Moreover, keyword searches for "Patna airport" and "HIV girl" did not yield any credible news reports. We also found several inconsistencies in the alleged claim.

The X post states that the girl was caught at Patna airport, whereas the overlay text on the video said that she was caught at Patna bus stand. While Bihar has reported a rise in HIV cases recently, with 8,000 cases in Sitamarhi, there have been no credible reports or official confirmation that a girl was caught in Patna for infecting 800 men with HIV. Did Uttar Pradesh Police Bust Sex Racket Operating Under Temple in Gorakhpur?
