HIV PREVALENCE

New scientific evidence from NFHS-3 has provided crucial information for understanding India’s HIV epidemic. The survey found an HIV prevalence rate of 0.28 percent for the population age 15-49. Prevalence is more than 60 percent higher among men than women, at 0.36 percent and 0.22 percent, respectively. NFHS-3 found HIV prevalence to be particularly high in Manipur (1.1%) and Andhra Pradesh (1.0%).
