It is observed that the severity of anemia increase the mortality in PLWH independent of CD4 count. There are wide variations in the prevalence of anemia from different countries all over the world. Also gender specific variation observed in different studies. Aims and Objectives: Aim of our study was to collect the data from India and study the anemia and its gender specific variation in people living with HIV in India. Materials and Methods: Two hundred PLWH of age group 18-60 years were included in the study.

Out of two hundred subjects ninety nine were males and one hundred one females, Complete blood count done on ERMA-PCE 210 blood cell counter. Hemoglobin values were further studied for diagnosis and classification of anemia. Results: The results of study indicated high prevalence of anemia in PLWH i.e.77.5%. The prevalence of anemia in female (84.15%) was higher as compared to males (70.70%). No significant correlation found between anemia and sex p=0.260. Conclusion: Anemia prevalence is high in PLWH and is higher in females as compare to males.
