Background:
India, with its large number of migrant workers, had a large number of people affected by HIV. This included antenatal women who are a vulnerable population. The Government of India along with nongovernmental organizations worked on a large number of programs to screen and decrease mother-to-child transmission. This in turn has brought down the prevalence of HIV.
Materials And Methods:
Retrospective analysis of data from the block being provided with healthcare was carried out over a period of 14 years from January 2002 to December 2016.
Results:
The observed HIV prevalence was 5.9 per 1000 in 2002 and showed a declining trend to 1.2 per 1000 in 2016.
Conclusion:
Consistent work at health education and preventive methods has helped bring down the prevalence of HIV over the years.
