Study of Aids Awareness Among low income groups in slums areas of Agra

AIDS is a silent killer. The main reason for AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome) is HIV (Human Immuno Defiency virus). This virus when it enters our body immediately turns into RNA and then spreads quickly. After that it starts to destroy the white blood corpuscles. Because of this our resistance towards diseases gets decreased. Now the human body cannot withstand even an ordinary cold. The Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) is transmitted through blood transfusion. AIDS can be called our modern pandemic affecting both industrialized and developing countries. India is one of the largest and most populated countries in the world with over one billion inhabitants. Of this number it’s estimated that around 2.4 million people are currently living with HIV. In United Nation AIDS reports 2011 estimates that there were 5.5 million people living with HIV in India which indicated that there were more people with HIV in India than in any other country in the world.
