| description | Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection continues to remain one of the most significant public health concerns at the global level. The emergence of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted the access to HIV testing, treatment and care facilities. There has been a gradual decline in the number of newly diagnosed people who are started on ART and some of them have also been forced to discontinue their ongoing treatment. It is the need of the hour to continue the delivery of the essential services and this calls for the need to strengthen primary health care and overall health care delivery system. In conclusion, it is the need of the hour to intensify our efforts and continue our battle against the twin pandemic of HIV and COVID-19 infection. This will essentially depend upon multi-sectoral and multi-faceted efforts and all of us have to work together for prolonged periods of time. |
