The HIV/AIDS situation in different states

The HIV/AIDS situation in different states

The vast size of India makes it difficult to examine the effects of HIV on the country as a whole. The majority of states within India have a higher population than most African countries, so a more detailed picture of the crisis can be gained by looking at each state individually.

The HIV prevalence data for most states is established through testing pregnant women at antenatal clinics. While this means that the data are only directly relevant to sexually active women, they still provide a reasonable indication as to the overall HIV prevalence of each area.23

The following states have recorded the highest levels of HIV prevalence at antenatal and sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics over recent years.

Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh in the southeast of the country has a total population of around 76 million, of whom 6 million live in or around the city of Hyderabad. The HIV prevalence at antenatal clinics was 1% in 2007. This figure is smaller than the reported 1.26% in 2006, but remains the highest out of all states.24 HIV prevalence at STD clinics was very high at 17% in 2007. Among high-risk groups, HIV prevalence was highest among men who have sex with men (MSM) (17%), followed by female sex workers (9.7%) and IDUs (3.7%).2

  1. Few Months ago i went for a check up in the hospital, the doctor took my blood for a test and told me to come after 3 days for the results, after 3 days passed i went back to the hospital for the results,and it was then the doctor told me that i was diagnosed with HIV virus.
    On that very day i was left with no happiness and everything in life became meaningless to me, i began to think on how i could get rid of this virus from my body, i decided to go on internet and do some research, while i was surfing the internet i came across some good testimonials on how Dr James has been using his herbal medicine to treat and save different patients from various diseases and infections, i also saw someone who was commenting on how she was cured from HIV with Dr James herbal mixed medicine.
    To me I never believed in them, that was the first time to come across something like that, I just decided to try it out if it did really work!
    They gave the contact details of Dr James and I copied his email [DRJAMESHERBALMIX@GMAIL.COM] and later that night I sent him a message concerning my health.
    He later gave me a response and then we talked about the medicine and he said to me he was going to send the medicine to my home address and that he needed my address of where I reside.
    I sent him all he requested in order to get the medicine ready for me, and after 3 days i received a mail from the Post Office and to my surprise it was the herbal medicine from Dr James.
    He explained to me on how i was to take the medicine, he said i was to take 2 times daily for 14 days, i followed exactly as i was told, before he sent me the medicine he said that i should go for check up after finish drinking the medicine, so after i finished the medicine i went back to the hospital for check up and to my greatest surprise again i was told that i am negative, i know someone would not believed this, but it did happened to a brother like me, i have always dreamed of living in good health again, thank god everything went well for me and thank god for Dr James Miracle Healing Medicine, you can reach Dr James on his Email{ drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com } friends this man has a cure to diseases like Alzheimer's virus, Cancer, HIV, Herpes, ALS, BV, UTI, Virginal infection, Genital Wart, HPV, Hepatitis A/B, Good luck, HSV, Pregnancy problems.Do not believe in medical drugs, try some Natural Remedy.With Dr.James herbal mix on drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com
