INTRODUCTION HIV is a virus → attacks and weakens immune system (CD4 T cells). No true latency period. Human & non-human primates are only natural hosts. Estimated 39 million PLHIV* globally, in which 1.5 million are children (0-14 yrs ). 630,000 people died from HIV related causes globally. In India, 2.5 million PLHIV, 68000 are children & 40000 deaths. *PLHIV – people Living with HIV 3

Summary HIV is major global public health issue with increasing trends in new infection. There is NO PERMENANT CURE for HIV , however with access to effective HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, HIV infection has become a manageable chronic health condition . The most common cause of mortality ISN’T HIV, BUT OIs ∴ OIs should be treated first. According to latest NACP guidelines – 1 st Line ART are TDF + 3TC + DTG. 106
