dc.description.abstractSerum samples of 9350 individuals belonging to different high risk groups were tested for HIV Infection by ELISA and western blot technique. 9 samples were found to be positive. Two of them belonged to indigenous people of Assam and the infection was transfusion/transplant associated and acquired outside the state during the course of medical treatment. Two were IDUs from Nagaland requiring treatment in a local hospital at Dibrugarh, Assam. Five were from floating population temporarily residing in Assam with history of heterosexual promiscuity. Overall seropositivity rate was 0.97/1000. It is felt that HIV infection in Upper Assam has not penetrated deeply and is at a manageable level and the spread of infection can be prevented through IEC programmes.en_US
