description The co-existence of AIDS and COVID-19 infections is poorly understood. India, the second-most populous nation, is home to 23.49 lakh people living with HIV/AIDS, and the country has no specific policy in this regard.

Therefore, India needs to have a specific policy for these vulnerable populations to cope with any such pandemic.
