According to AIDS Alliance, "India accounts for roughly half of Asia’s HIV epidemic with approximately 2.1 million people living with HIV. The Government of India has conservatively estimated that there are 2.3 million MSM and transgender people, of whom 412,000 are considered to be at high risk for HIV infection. HIV rates in MSM are 4.43% and in transgender people at 8.82% with the overall adult HIV prevalence at 0.27%."[1] Furthermore, "Testing pregnant women for HIV is an essential entry point into treatment, care and prevention of HIV. However, only 20% of the 27 million annual pregnancies in India are currently tested for HIV."[2]
