1. HIV

2. INTRODUCTION
• HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a
virus that attacks the body’s immune
system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead
to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome).
• Other infections -
• Average survival time infection with HIV-
• Infection transfer-
• EPIDEMIOLOGY
• Males>females Occurs in all ages and
ethnic groups.
• All areas of the country are affected .

3. Estimated New HIV Infections in India, 1998–2015
India is estimated to have around 86 (56–129) thousand new HIV infections in 2015 (Table 1), showing
66% decline in new infections from 2000 and 32% decline from 2007, the year set as baseline in the
NACP-IV . Children (<15 years) accounted for 12% (10.4 thousand) of total new infections while the
remaining (75.9 thousand) new infections were among adults (15+years).

4. Distribution of PLHIV in Select States, 2015
Madhya Pradesh 2%
The total number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in India is estimated at 21.17 lakhs (17.11 lakhs–26.49
lakhs) in 2015 compared with 22.26 lakhs (18.00 lakhs-27.85 lakhs) in 2007. Children (< 15 years) account for
6.54%, while two fifth (40.5%) of total HIV infections are among females. Undivided Andhra Pradesh and
Telangana have the highest estimated number of PLHIV (3.95 lakhs) followed by Maharashtra (3.01 lakhs),
Karnataka (1.99 lakhs), Gujarat (1.66 lakhs), Bihar (1.51 lakhs) and Uttar Pradesh (1.50 lakhs). These seven
States together account for two thirds (64.4%) of total estimated PLHIV.

5. Annual AIDS-Related Deaths and ART Scale-up, India, 2000-14
Since 2007, when the number of AIDS related deaths (ARD) started to show a declining trend,
the annual number of AIDS related deaths has declined by 54%. In 2015 an estimated 67.6
[46.4–106.0] thousand people died of AIDS-related causes nationally (Figure 5, Table 5). This
decline is consistent with the rapid expansion of access to ART in the country. It is estimated that
the scale-up of free ART since 2004 has saved cumulatively around 4.5 lakhs lives in India until
2014.
