HIV infection is a global pandemic & has grown into a public health problem of unprecedented magnitude. Integrated Counselling and Testing Centres (ICTCs), previously known as Voluntary Counselling & Testing Centres (VCTCs) provide key entry points for the continuum of care in HIV/AIDS for all segments of the population.I carried out a retrospective study of 524 clients who tested positive for HIV & were registered at ICTC of teaching hospitals of Kasturba Medical College i.e. KMC, Attavar (170 clients) & Government Wenlock Hospital (354 clients).As per the study carried out, it was found that there has been a declining trend of HIV positive cases in the past 10 years, with a little rise in 2006. The majority belonged to the reproductive agegroup, i.e. 25-40 years, which is also the most economically productive group. Amongst those who tested positive, majority were males(63%), belonged to married category (67%). The HIV Status of spouse was unknown in majority of cases (66%) & amongst those it was known, most of them tested positive (81%) for HIV.As per the analysis, majority of the crowd were literate(86%) i.e. they received primary education & were daily wage workers( 62%). There were also 21 cases (4%) of clients less than 10 years of age.Heterosexual mode of transmission was found to be the most common mode route, being responsible for 91% of the HIV positive clients, followed by 19 cases (3.6%) of parent to child transmission. There were also 2 cases of MSM in our study. Majority of the clients who tested positive for HIV at ICTCs were referred to ART Centres accounting for 85% cases, some cases were also referred to DOTS Centres.Such a study will help us in evaluating the performance of ICTC & designing the information,education and communication to increase the client uptake in terms of quality and quantity.
