Epidemiology of HIV-AIDS in an area especially with regards to socio-demographic factors helps in choosing and implementing a particular intervention in much better way. Study included counseling and testing of clients that were either self initiated or referred from the hospital over a period of 2 years. Analysis of ICTC data of all positive attendees was done. HIV positivity rate was 1% with male to female ratio of 2.2:1. Majority of positive males were literate and belonged to service class whereas most of the positive females were housewives. Spillage of the epidemic on to general population might well cause significant alteration in trends noted till times.
