註釋"The HIV/AIDS epidemic is both a major international issue for the United States and one of the most serious questions hanging over India's future, extending beyond public health into India's economic and social prospects. Since 1986, when the first case was reported in India, HIV has spread rapidly from urban to rural areas and from high-risk groups to the general population. Indian government figures released in May 2005 estimate that there are 5.19 million people infected with HIV in India. Currently HIV prevalence is estimated to be 0.9 percent of the adult population (between 15 and 49 years of age). If the epidemic continues to expand, HIV/AIDS could bring to India the same devestation it has to Sub-Saharan Africa."--Excerpted from executive summary, p. v.
