Abstract

The National AIDS Control Organization estimates that around 2.14 million people with HIV/AIDS live in India. The burden of HIV is particularly high among the socially isolated. With the lack of financial protection mechanisms in India, people face an increasing burden of out-of-pocket health expenditures (OOPHE) and catastrophic health expenditures (CHE) while paying for healthcare. The objective of this study is to examine the wealth-based inequities associated with the healthcare expenditures for HIV care and to analyze the income related inequalities, mapping the determinants and contribution of individual factors in driving these inequalities.
