Abstract : In 2011, India recorded approximately 2.1 million individuals living with HIV (PLHIV), with a national adult HIV prevalence of 0.27%. Women constituted 39% of PLHIV, and children under 15 represented 7% of infections. By March 2013, the antiretroviral therapy (ART) program had enrolled 0.1 million HIV-positive children, of whom 38,579 received free ART. The preceding five years witnessed substantial growth in HIV counseling, testing, Prevention of Parent-to-Child Transmission (PPTCT), and ART services nationwide. Between 2004 and 2013, the annual number of pregnant women tested under the PPTCT program surged from 0.8 million to 8.83 million, extending to rural areas.
