My Research

My research work mainly focussed on the vertically transmitted HIV-infected paediatric patients. I have worked extensively with HIV-1-infected children and visited hospitals and care homes to collect data for my research. My research has undertaken exercises on certain problems pertaining to psychiatric disorders in HIV-1-infected children along with the estimation of survival function of doubly censored HIV-1 paediatrics data by using non-parametric, semi-parametric and parametric techniques. The roles of some variables like HAART, sex, age and year of diagnosis in affecting the longevity of survival time have been investigated. Also attempt has been made to evolve a clinical case definition for the diagnosis of AIDS in areas in India where there are limited resources.
