Evaluation of demographic and co-infection pattern amongst HIV seropositive individuals in a tertiary care centre

HIV infection remains a major public health issue in India, with demographic characteristics and co-infections influencing disease progression. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the demographic profile and co-infection patterns among HIV-positive individuals attending a tertiary care centre. The research involved 110 participants, analyzing factors such as age, gender, mode of transmission and co-infections. The results show that young, sexually active males are most affected, with tuberculosis being the leading co-infection. This study advances our understanding of HIV co-infection patterns, emphasizing the importance of early screening and integrated management for improved outcomes.
