Inventors include Dr. Mahalakshmi; Ms. Harshitha S N; and Ms. Hemashree R.
The application for the patent was published on September 25, 2026, under issue no. 39/2026.
Abstract: To examine long-term patterns, this investigation utilized public, country-level HIV data for India spanning the years 2000 to 2023, gathered from the UNAIDS Data Portal. Primary metrics associated with HIV were summarized via descriptive statistical analysis. For modeling temporal shifts in both yearly new HIV cases and mortality related to AIDS, the study deployed the National Cancer Institute's Joinpoint Regression Program (version 6.0.1). This log-linear regression approach allowed for the pinpointing of distinct directional shifts over time, enabling the calculation of Annual Percent Changes (APCs) for individual time segments using permutation testing for final model selection.
