- W2290630944 abstract "Although it is estimated that there are fewer than 4 million cases of HIV infection in India the general consensus is that there are growing localized epidemics. The challenge to the countrys infrastructure to respond to this epidemic and the issues of stigma and discrimination faced by HIV-infected persons appear daunting. After initial denial the government set up the National AIDS Control Organization which initiated a large-scale surveillance program for prevalence of HIV infection throughout all the states of India. The National AIDS Control Organization also brought significant improvements to blood supply safety in the country. The nongovernmental sector is active in prevention and care; people living with HIV are beginning to organize themselves for advocacy and activism; epidemiologic interventional and clinical research have moved forward; yet more could be done. Diagnosis of HIV infection remains a challenge. There are unresolved ethical technical and programmatic issues around voluntary counseling and testing. Availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy is not an issue since antiretroviral drugs are manufactured in the country and exported elsewhere but their affordability and the feasibility of monitoring patients taking the drugs are in question. Almost none of those living with HIV infection receive these medications from the government except when nevirapine is provided to prevent mother-to-child transmission or from the nearly nonexistent health insurance sector. This commentary offers a perspective on the current status of the HIV epidemic in India focusing on epidemiology the government response and diagnosis and treatment. (authors)" @default.
