Epidemiology of HIV in India and Scotland (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
The paper examines the epidemiology of HIV in India and Scotland, detailing the trends in prevalence, demographics, and healthcare responses in both regions. In India, the National AIDS Control Organisation has implemented surveillance strategies since the virus was first detected in 1986, witnessing both a decline in overall prevalence and challenges in data coverage among high-risk populations. In Scotland, the introduction of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) has transformed the landscape of HIV management, with increased testing and changes in demographics of those affected. The paper emphasizes the need for improved data collection and integration of services to better address the needs of populations at risk.

Acta Scientific Medical Sciences
India has made significant progress in controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS since the beginning of the HIV epidemic. The current programme, National AIDS Control Programme IV (NACP-IV), aims to diagnose and reduce annual new HIV cases by 50%. Through comprehensive HIV treatment, education, care, and support for the general population as well as building on targeted interventions for the key affected groups and those at a high risk of HIV transmission, the current programme focuses on increasing awareness and behaviour change, from a national response to a more decentralized response, and to increasing involvement of NGOs and networks of People living with HIV (PLHIV). The program has set various targets and milestones over the years, this is a comparison of the NACP targets and achievements according to NACO along with a few gaps in India till 2021.
