The history of HIV/AIDS in India is a significant chapter in the global fight against the disease. It provides insights into how a country with vast geographical diversity, socio-economic challenges, and a large population has responded to one of the most pressing public health concerns of the 20th and 21st centuries. India's experience reflects the intersection of epidemiology, healthcare policy, stigma, community response, and international cooperation. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, weakening the body’s ability to fight infections. AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is the advanced stage of HIV infection, characterized by a severely weakened immune system. The virus is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse, contaminated blood transfusions, sharing of needles, and from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. In India, the socio-cultural fabric and varied health infrastructure posed unique challenges and shaped the trajectory of the epidemic and response strategies. The first case of HIV in India was detected in 1986 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It was identified among sex workers, signaling that the virus had already entered high-risk groups.
