The six states (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Manipur, Nagaland and Tamil Nadu) where HIV was highly prent, accounted for only 31 per cent of the 1.16 lakh estimated new infections in 2011 among adults. Indicating a positive trend in these states, it mentions that the adult HIV prence declined in these states during the period of 2007.

According to UNAIDS India Country Coordinator Oussama Tawil, overall India may have shown progress in reduction of HIV cases but when the individual status of every state is to be considered, there are varying trends. Earlier, northern India reported lower HIV prence. For instance, in the state of Punjab, the problem was particularly prent due to injecting of drugs. Other reasons for varying trends could be migration from rural areas to high prence areas and higher prence among pregnant women with migrant spouses.

Low levels of HIV among high risk groups in these states, large volume of out-migration from rural areas to high prence areas, higher prence in rural than urban population and among pregnant women with migrant spouses indicate the possible role of migration in fuelling HIV epidemics in these states, the report says.

However, the report notes that the programme has to customise its strategies to effectively address the emerging vulnerabilities and adapt them to suit the requirements of different geographical regions. Till the last surveillance round which is till 2011, there has been either a stabilisation or a drop in the key populations at national level, said Tawil, while explaining the overall data. The next trend surveillance round is slated to be held by mid-next year which will indicate if the trends have changed.
