Abstract
It is evident that the important component of reproductive morbidity is the spectrum if Reproductive Tract Infections (RTIs) and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). The HIV infection and AIDS also fall within the groups of STIs, which include endogenous infections, STDs and lactroenic infections. The experts predicted that there are about five million HIV- positive and one million AIDS cases in India alone. The study is mainly based on the data undertaken from Multi Indicator Survey (1997) and Rapid Household Survey (RHS) of the Reproductive and Child Health Survey (1998). It is revealed that rural, poorly educated and poor women are the least likely to be aware of AIDS and if aware, have the poorest understanding of syndrome in the State.
