Objectives • Determine the geographical spread of HIV infection • Monitor the trends of HIV epidemic • Know the prevalence of the infection in high risk group like Sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic attendees • Measure the prevalence of the HIV infection in the general population through testing the antenatal clinic attendees. • Measure the prevalence of the infection in the targeted intervention groups of Female Sex Workers (FSW), Men Having Sex with Men (MSM) & Injecting Drug Users (IDU) • Provide information for estimates and future projections of HIV/AIDS in the country; • Use such data to mobilize the national political and social leaders as well as to generate external support for the programme; • Provide useful data for appropriate planning of health and medical care services
Site Selection & Sample Size: ANC, STD, FSW, IDU & MSM Sites Sites were selected considering the different geographical locations, high risk populations & low risk populations • 400 samples collected from each ANC sentinel site in a period of 3 month- Sentinel group is the ANC attendees / pregnant women attending the clinic for the first time during this period. • In the case of STD clinic the sample size is 250 of them 150 from STD clinic & 100 from Gyno clinic of same institution. • 250 samples collected from identified TI clinic for FSW, IDU, MSM in a period of 3 months- sentinel groups are FSW, IDU, MSM. • Samples were collected (a) Maintaining consecutiveness, (b) Following inclusion criteria. • Testing done at (a) Pre-designated testing centers at Microbiology/ Virology units of teaching institutions in a unlinked anonymous manner.
