The main purpose of this work is to detect the HIV response rates at Out Patients Department (OPD) of Apollo Hospital, Bilaspur, particularly those who are coming from the rural area of Chhattisgarh State. Blood plasma samples of 120 patients were taken and Tri-Dot and ELISA test for the detection of HIV. Out of 120 OPD patients of Apollo hospital, 20 were HIV positive i.e., 16.6%. It was also seen that maternal transmission of HIV accounts for more than 90% of all HIV infection in infants & children. It was concluded from demographical study that life expectancy of HIV positive pregnant woman depends upon the antenatal clinical treatment. The mean time from seroconversion to onset of disease is approximately 9 years. Perinatally infected infants’ progress faster. Signs of AIDS can be seen by 5 months in more than 80% of seropositive children. Since the work is small but definitely it will help in future to study the statistical population genetics of Chhattisgarh state. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol7no1/immunological-diagnosis-of-human-immunodeficiency-virus-experience-based-report/
