8. Where did it come from
This is a controversial topic…..
Some believe it is manmade and was produced by a chemical
weapons lab or medical research gone wrong.
Generally accepted that it evolved in Sub-Saharan Africa and that it
crossed over from the chimpanzee population (in contaminated
meat/or hunters being exposed to contaminated blood).
International travel/ blood transfusions/ drug use brought the virus
to the developed world.
It has been reported to be present in gay men in USA since the mid
70’s- known as the ‘gay plague’.

World AIDS Day is the focal point of the World AIDS Campaign, which is active all the year around. Ever Year since i988, it is observed on 1st Dec.
Despite many scientific advances being made for treatment and having laws to protect people living with HIV/AIDS,
The artists who formed the Visual AIDS Artists Caucus wished to create a visual symbol to demonstrate compassion for people living with AIDS and their caregivers. Inspired by the yellow ribbons honoring American soldiers serving in the Gulf war, the color red was chosen for its, "connection to blood and the idea of passion -- not only anger, but love, like a valentine." First worn publicly byJeremy Irons at the 1991 Tony Awards,[2] the ribbon soon became renowned as an international symbol of AIDS awareness, becoming a politically correct fashion accessory on the lapels of celebrities. At the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert held at Wembley Stadium, London on Easter Sunday 1992, more than 100,000 red ribbons were distributed among the audience by Red Ribbon International, with performers such as George Michael wearing one.[3][4] The Red Ribbon continues to be a powerful force in the fight to increase public awareness of HIV/AIDS and in the lobbying efforts to increase funding for AIDS services and research.
1981 – 1st case of unusual immuno deficiency are identified among gay men in USA
1982 – AIDS is defined for the 1st time
1983 – HIV is identified as cause of AIDS
1986- 1st case reported from Chennai, By CMC Vellore
1988 – AIDS day observed on 1st december and since then global observance is made
1996- UNAIDS is created
2000- Then UN secretary general Kofi Annan calls for action and creation of funds for AIDS.
2000- Historic step on UN MDG acknowledging the importance of an effective response to HIV/AIDS
MDG 6 – Halts and reverse the AIDS epidemic by 2015.
When the MDG were established there was lack of critical HIV treatment and prevention tools
We are now less than two years from the deadline, and today we have the tools to lay the groundwork to end the AIDS epidemic.
The theme getting to zero highlights continued progress made towards achieving the global vision of the goal i.e. and the challenges that lies ahead.
Only 26 countries are on track in reducing transmission by 50% or more among adults and adolescents while others are not. Trends in sexual behaviour shows decrease condom use/increase in no. of sexual partners.
Efforts to Reduce sexual transmission with relation to MSM and sex workers had not borne fruits and remains insufficient.
Bio medical prevention like voluntary medical male circumcision have however accelerated momentum to buttress the preventive benefits of behavioural approaches.
The world is not on track to reduce. HIV prevalence among injecting drug still high - 28 % in Asia
Hiv prevention coverage is also low with only 2 countries providing recommended minimum of at least 200 sterile syringes per person per year
Only 4 countries provided data of reaching more than 10 % of opiate users with substitution therapy.
Punitive laws and discourages individuals from seeking social and medical services.
Potential to reach at least 90% of pregnant women but reached only 62%.
As a result no. of children newly infected with HIV fell by 43%.
Other preventive strategies like access to contraception and other FP services to be adopted and link pregnant women and their children to ART and care.
Although all the countries acknowledged the importance of addressing gender inequalities, less than half allocated funds, or integrated HIV and sexual and reproductive health or scaled up men and boys in national response.
• Stigma refers to unfavourable attitudes and beliefs directed toward someone or something
• Discrimination is the treatment of an individual or group with partiality or prejudice
• Stigmatization reflects an attitude
• Discrimination is an act or behavior
Since 2010 8 countries, territories or area have eliminated restrictions on entry, stay and residences of people living with HIV.
All punitive laws, policies, practices, stigma and discrimination that block effective responses to AIDS including in the areas of sex work, travel restrictions, homophobia and criminalization of HIV transmission should be removed.
The world is within track of reaching 15 million people with ART by 2015.
61% of the people received ART as per WHO HIV treatment guidelines in 2012.
Fixed dose combination, paediatric formulation, co packaging of 1st and 2nd line drugs.
Treatment 2.0 will include evaluating a package of affordable, accessible tuberculosis and viral
hepatitis diagnostics for use in a range of health care settings.
World is also on track but has slowed down in recent years
Of 10 countries reporting with largest no. of HIV/TB cases., Only 2 countries (kenya and malawi) delivering more than 50 % to HIV +ve TB patients.

Global fund required is 22-24 billion US $
Only 19 billion $ available.
Domestic spending accounted for 55 % on treatment and care whereas international funding accounted for prevention programmes.
Low and middle income countries depend on international funding
51 countries look for 75 % funding of HIV related condition.
97 % of the people living with Hiv/aids are in low and middle income countries (sub saharan Africa, Latin american )
India has the adult prevalence of 0.1 to 0.5 %
