Diploma Course in HIV and AIDS
Course overview
HIV appeared on our planet in 1981 and the first cases were reported in India in Mumbai and Chennai in 1986. This killer disease has drained economy of several countries and human survival continues to be a major issue in some countries particularly in the African Continent. The recent estimates about HIV/AIDS status in India is certainly comforting as the spread of this disease is currently under control in most parts of the country although the situation continues to be grim in the state of Manipur where the infection rate is around 9 to 11 per cent while the national adult infection rate is well below one per cent at around .34 per cent.
