Objective. To assess the HIV serostatus of clients attending integrated counseling and testing centres (ICTCs) in Tamilnadu, south India (excluding antenatal women and children), and to study its association with demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral risk factors. Design. In a prospective observational study, we interviewed clients attending 170 ICTCs from six districts of Tamilnadu during 2007 utilizing a standard pretest assessment questionnaire. All the clients were tested for HIV with rapid test kits. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify determinants of HIV infection. Results. Of 18329 clients counseled, 17958 (98%) were tested for HIV and 732 (4.1%; range 2.6 to 6.2%) were tested positive for HIV. Median age of clients was 30 years; 89% had never used condoms in their lives and 2% gave history of having received blood transfusion. In multivariate analysis HIV seropositivity was associated with HIV in the family (adjusted odds ratio) (AOR 11.6), history of having sex with sex workers (AOR 2.9), age ≥31 years (AOR 2.8); being married (AOR 2.5), previously tested for HIV (AOR 1.9), illiteracy (AOR 1.7), unemployment (AOR 1.5), and alcoholism (AOR 1.5). Conclusion. HIV seroprevalence being high in ICTC clients (varied from 2.6 to 6.2%), this group should also be included in routine programme monitoring of sero-positivity and risk factors for better understanding of the impact of the National AIDS Control Programme. This would help in evolving appropriate policies and strategies to reduce the spread of HIV infection. 1. Background care. The concept of integrating the preventive and care services was initiated through the initiation of Integrated India today stands at the crossroads in its battle against Counselling and Testing Centres (ICTCs) in Tamilnadu Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Defi- from 2005.

  • 6.4 Railways 6.4.1Sector Overview
    6.4 Railways 6.4.1 Sector Overview The CBIC Area has a dense railway network comprising 2,806 route km, all of which is broad gauge (1,676 mm) – please see a network illustration in Figure 6.4.1. The network is maintained and operated by three zonal railway organizations under the Ministry of Railways (MOR). The largest component of the network is that of the South Western Railway (1,285 route km), operated from a base in Hubli, Karnataka. The Southern Railway, based in Chennai, operates 950 route km and the South Central Railway, with a headquarters in Secunderabad, operates 566 route km within the CBIC boundary. Passengers dominate the traffic on this network, particularly on the Southern Railway portion which generates most of its revenue from passenger traffic. The network consists of a central east-west route of 675 km linking Chennai with Chitradurga, via Bengaluru, plus another 21 routes generally running north and south from Chennai or Bengaluru. The network has the following functions: It connects inland industrial centres with east coast ports in Chennai, Ennore, Krishnapatnam, and, in the future, with new ports in Kattupalli and (possibly) Duggirajapatnam It connects the CBIC area to the major cities of India It connects the inland industrial centres of CBIC with other manufacturing centres located outside the CBIC Area. In particular, the CBIC railway network provides some important trunk line connections between: Chennai and Gudur Junction (a “Golden Quadrilateral” connecting Chennai with Delhi and Kolkata); Chennai, Renigunta and Nandalur (also a “Golden Quadrilateral” connecting Chennai with Hyderabad and Mumbai); Chennai-Salem, Chennai-Villupuram and Bengaluru-Mysore (links with major cities and with agricultural areas in the south); Bengaluru and Dharmavaram (links to Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi, as well as the steel producing region around Bellary); and Bengaluru and Chitradurga/Rayadurga (links to Mangalore Port to the southwest and Bellary to the north).
