Epidemiological Fact Sheet on HIV and AIDS: Core Data on Epidemiology and Response - India, 2008 Update

The UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance, initiated in November 1996, is the coordination and implementation mechanism for UNAIDS and WHO to compile and improve the quality of data needed for informed decisionmaking and planning at national, regional and global levels.

The Epidemiological Fact Sheets are one of the products of close collaboration around the globe. The Fact Sheets collate the most recent country-specific data on HIV prevalence and incidence, together with information on behaviour determined to be important in understanding the epidemic.
