Abstract
India is poised on the verge of a sharp escalation of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, with profound consequences for the state’s society, economy and polity. This crisis will not affect India alone. In an increasingly interconnected world, the effects of such an epidemic will be globally felt, both directly in terms of the spread of infection, and indirectly in terms of the overall security and economic and political health of the region.
