Hello mscr7299,
Below you will find the results of my research for Statistics on
AIDS/HIV/STD in India:
From India's National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO):
According to NACO's latest available figures, the number of new HIV
cases fell from 610,000 in 2002 to 520,000 in 2003 while the total
number of those affected by the virus remained 5.1 million at the end
of 2003 in a population of a billion people.

Avert.org http://www.avert.org/indiaaids.htm provides detailed statistics:
?India has a population of one billion, around half of whom are adults
in the sexually active age group, with a large number below this age
group. The first AIDS case in India was detected in 1986, and since
then, HIV infection has been reported in all States and Union
Territories. The spread of HIV in India has been diverse, with much of
India having a low rate of infection and the epidemic being most
extreme in the southern States. 96% of the total number of nationally
reported AIDS cases were found in 10 of the 28 States and 7 Union
Territories, the worst being Maharashtra in the west, Tamil Nadu and
Pondicherry in the south, and Manipur in the north-east. In
Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu the infections are mostly due to
heterosexual contact, while infections are mainly found amongst
injecting drug users (IDU) and their sexual partners in Manipur.?
Estimated numbers of adults and children living with HIV/AIDS, end 2001

From India's National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO):
STD prevalence rates in both urban and rural populations as follows:
?STD prevalence in urban areas will be 10% in high prevalent States,
7% in medium prevalent States and 5% in low prevalent States. It will
be the same for both males and females.?
- 5% prevalence in rural populations in all States/UTs, for both males and females.
?In high prevalent States, for every infected female there are 1.2
males, in moderate prevalent States, for every infected female there
are 2 males and in low prevalence States, for every infected female
there will be 3 males.?
?Similarly, for every male STD patient from highly prevalent States,
it is assumed that there would be 0.83 females, for moderate prevalent
States, there will be 0.5 females and for low prevalent States, there
would be 0.33 female patients.?
http://www.naco.nic.in/indianscene/update.htm
Chlamydial prevalence rates in India = 17%
http://www.avert.org/stdstatisticsworldwide.htm
The most commonly found sexually transmitted disease in India is Gonorrhea
?It affects women more frequently than men (4:1) and its highest
incidence is among sexually active adolescent girls.?
?It is estimated that between 50,000 and 80,000 women are made sterile
by gonorrhea every year.?

The National Intelligence Council(NIC), USA, in a recently published
report on HIV situation in five countries, projected, inter alia, that
by 2010 there would be 25 million HIV infections in India.
(. . .)
?The current official estimate of HIV infections in India is close to 4 million.?
(. . .)
?According to the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) of India,
as of 31 October 2001, there were about 3.31 million HIV infected
Indians. These estimates are based on data collected from 320 sentinel
surveillance sites- STD clinics (135), antenatal(ANC) clinics (170),
IDU Centres (13) and MSM Centres (2) spread across the country. Since
there are no reliable estimates for the number of sex workers,
intravenous drug users (IDU), and men having sex with men (MSM), about
20% of the estimates (0.67
million) has been added to to the sentinel based estimate to arrive at
a working estimate of 3.97 million HIV infections in India.?
?A recently published community-based STD prevalence study from Tamil
Nadu reported that nearly 6% of males and 13% of females had
microbiologically confirmed infections?
