Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seems to be a major public health challenge for all over the world, especially in developing countries such as India. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the sociodemographic profile of people living with HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) attending a standalone Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre (ICTC) at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh. Materials and Methods: A record-based study was carried out among the HIV-positive patients who were attending the ICTC at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical college, AMU, Aligarh. Results: Prevalence of HIV infection was found to be 5.04% in and around Aligarh region. Males were more commonly affected than females with a ratio of 1.6:1. Majority of HIV-positive patients (35.82%) belonged to 25–34 years of age group. Most common clinical presentation was fever (46.9%) among HIV-positive patients, followed by weight loss (36.88%) and diarrhea (32.55%). Sexual transmission (61.19%) was the most common route of HIV transmission seen in our study. Most of the patients had a baseline CD4 count level below 200/μl. Conclusion: Majority of HIV/AIDS study subjects were from the economically productive age group.
