Abstract

Singh HO, Maan HS and Dhole TN

In today’s era, AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome) has been changed from a death sentence to a manageable chronic disease after usage of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Although, according to NACO 2015 and UNAIDS 2017, there was a 54% decline in AIDS death from 2007 to 2015 and an overall 32% decline in new HIV infection (80,000 in 2016). It is still one of the leading causes of death. UNAIDS (2017) reported 2.1 million (1.324 billion) people living with HIV in India and with a ranked third in the world.
