Abstract

The number of individuals seeking treatment for infection with human immunodeficiency virus increased as the cost of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) decreased 20-fold after the introduction of generic HAART in India in the year 2000. The incidence of tuberculosis and opportunistic infections decreased to <2 cases per 100 person-years. Death rates decreased from 25 to 5 deaths per 100 person-years between 1997 and 2003.
