INTRODUCTION Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has increasingly become a major public-health concern in many developing countries. It is estimated that globally about 34.3 million people are currently infected with HIV. Of these, about 5.6 million are from South and Southeast Asia, with most infections occurring in India. After a slow start in the mid-1980s, India has now about 3.7 million people infected with HIV, with an infection rate of 0.7% (1). The infection rates in Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar are as high as 2-4% of their adult population.
