The HIV epidemic has seen some stabilization as adult HIV prevalence is now estimated at 0.31 percent as compared to 0.36 percent in 2006. The six high prevalence states have shown a declining trend in prevalence, the Minister said.

Shri Azad informed that a National Strategy to tackle the increasing trend of HIV positivity amongst migrants is being put in place as states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, Rajasthan where out migration is high need to be watched carefully.

The Members of the Consultative Committee raised the issues of universally accepted nomenclature, involvement of educational institutions, blood safety, wider testing, social stigma and use of local languages for the awareness purposes.
