AP has the one of the highest HIV prevalence in India.

Quote

The Government of India estimates that in 2006, about 2.45 million Indians were living with HIV (1.75 - 3.15 million) with an adult prevalence rate of 0.41%. India’s highly heterogeneous epidemic is largely concentrated in six states — in the industrialized south and west, and in the north-eastern tip. On average, HIV prevalence in those states is 4–5 times higher than in the other Indian states. HIV prevalence is highest in the Mumbai-Karnataka corridor, the Nagpur area of Maharashtra, the Nammakkal district of Tamil Nadu, coastal Andhra Pradesh, and parts of Manipur and Nagaland.

Recent data suggests there are signs of a decline in HIV prevalence among sex workers in areas where focused interventions have been implemented, particularly in the southern states although overall prevalence levels among this group continues to be high. Data also indicate that there is a slow decrease in HIV prevalence among the general population in southern states. Although more analysis is required, this probably means that the number of people becoming newly infected with HIV is decreasing. This decrease is more perceptible in states such as Tamil Nadu where the intensity of HIV prevention efforts has been high.
