Major source of HIV transmission in our country is? through sexual intercourse and HIV is primarily?? considered to be a sexually transmitted disease. STDs are marker for high risk behaviour.? Other STDs appear to serve as an important? risk factor which facilitate the transmission and acquisition of HIV infection due to ulcers and inflammation of skin or mucous membrances of the genitalia.? The control of other STDS contributes significantly to the reduction of HIV infection.
Specialist treatment is provided in all the STD clinics free of cost.?? In addition HIV/AIDS cases are treated as in -patients in Government Hospitals of Thoracic Medicine, Tambaram , Government General Hospital and also in Medical College Hospitals for all opportunistic infections, free of cost.? Adequate funds are also released to the Director of Medical Education and Director of Medical and Rural Health Services for supply of medicine, equipment and other minor civil works, etc.
In Government Hospital of Thoracic Medicine, Tambaram, Siddha medicines along with other allopathic medicine are also given to persons affected with HIV/AIDS on trial basis which has showed slight improvement to the patients.
A copy of the STD clinics established/under establishment as on Mar,31, Is enclosed.
