Then…. Consultations with working groups,e-forums,ngo’s,PLHA networks Inputs from studies and assessments Consolidate gains and address gaps So after one year……………………….
NACP III (2007-2012) Focus on halt/reverse of epidemic Bettering the target of HIV related MDG Four pronged approach
GUIDING PRINCIPLES Three ones Equity in prevention Rights of PLHA Social ownership ,community involvement Environmental change for affected Universal access Human resource interventions
4 PRONGED STRATERGY Preventing new infection-TI, Scaled up intervention Extend care, support and treatment Strengthening the infrastructure for prevention and care Strengthen SIMS Budget-11585 crores
PREVENTION
UPSCALING PREVENTION Mainstay of NACP III To reduce the spread from HRG to general population Behaviour change stratergy based on effective IEC campaign Continuum of care at all levels Interlinked services with apt information
In high risk groups Increase demand of products& services Provide counselling,risk reduction training Focus on partner referral Demand,access and availability of condoms Environement for safe behaviour Increase programme sustainability Integrate prevention to care, support, treatment
By all these… Saturate 80% of HRG and decrease spread Special focus to IDU & MSM
In bridge population Peer led interventions Promote,provide condoms Develop linkage between different groups Peer support groups and safe spaces creation
In general population Women especially wives of HRG& bridge groups Youth Marginalized Tribals
All these will.. Set up cadre of link workers More access to HIV testing Red ribbon clubs for youth PPTCT access and treatment improvement Assured blood and products STI treatment in public and private Reduce stigma,discrimination
Information,education and communication Remove stigma and more access Promote value based lifestyle Reduce risky behaviour Promote condom Raises demand
ICTC Hub of HIV related services 4955 ICTC s 22 million people will be tested
PPTCT 1,89000 pregnancies Nevirapine prophyalaxis scaled up to 80%
Managing STIs 4-6% of adult population,more females Expand STI services with NRHM Also NGOs,private Screen high risk for STI –A KEY STRATERGY
CONDOM PROMOTION Awareness increased but less use Promoting use,ensure availability Negotiating skills in HRG
BLOOD SAFETY Provide safe blood within an hour Well coordinated network to reduce HIV transmission 0.5% from1.92% Voluntary blood donation to 90%
STRENGTHENING CARE,SUPPORT AND TREATMENT
COMPREHENSIVE STRATERGY Psychosocial support Ensure accessible affordable and sustainable treatment sevices Reduce stigma,poverty and discrimination CD4 testing facilities Capacity building of ART centres Procure ART drugs
COMMUNITY CARE CENTRES

Can use their medical infrastructure Mainstreamed to their workplan Allocate their internal resources
Partnership UN,bilateral,multilateral,funding agencies Steering committee for donor cordination To prevent duplication,maximize effort Share information and plan Joint review of performance
Enabling environment Necessary legislative reforms,policy making Legal ,ethical concerns
