NEW DELHI: 'States like Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have the highest prevalence of HIV in India,' says UNAIDS India chief
Dr Dennis Broun. A study of prostitutes in Tamil Nadu found 50% of them had been infected with HIV.
For the first time, NACO also admits that the figures could be correct. A senior NACO official said, 'India does have 5.7 million cases if all age groups are considered. But we also have to take into account India's population. The South African model isn't even comparable.'
The report says 18.8% of South African adults were living with HIV. The corresponding figure in India was 0.9%.
Released a day before the UN General Assembly on AIDS kicks off in New York where NACO DG Sujatha Rao is representing India, the report revealed some interesting figures. To date, around 65 million people have been infected with HIV.
AIDS has killed more than 25 million since it was first recognised in 1981. The vast majority of 38.6 million people living with HIV in 2005 were unaware of their status |
