AAG,AmritsarAIDS Awareness Group,Amritsar
We are an organisation in force since 1993.Right now I,Dr.RakeshBharti,a dermatologist and STD specialist,am taking care of 400 HIV families scattered in various parts of Amritsar.Amritsar is a city of religeous and historical importance with majority population of sikhs a,minority community of India.Being situated on the border of two countries-India and Pakistan,Amritsar also faces the challenges of IVDU because of drug trafficking.The HIV positive people here are from various walks of life,but majority are truckers.Nonetheless ,the agriculturists,business folk,govt officewrs including those in the discplined forces like police,technocrats like doctors are no exception.Male to female ratio of victims is 3:2.Routes of transmission mainly are Sex,IVDU, thru needles of quacks and mother to child in that order.The access to ARV remains an area of concern and very few can really afford the same,although the cost is roughly 25 dollars per month only.
One can have some idea about these people by seeing the blog of PK the address is http://punjab-healthandhumanrights.blogspot.com/
I would love to reply any medical querries in developing countries specially regarding HIV,Sexual disorders and STD's
