STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO THE LOK SABHA STARRED
QUESTION NO. 2 TO BE ANSWERED ON 23.7.97
il
To slow down the spread of HIV/AIDS, the National AIDS
Control Programme"was started in 1987. But the Programme was
launched in a comprehensive manner all over the country only
in 1992 with the World Bank credit of US$ 84 million
million.. A five
/ year strategic plan is being implemented with the objective
^of prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in the country so as
to reduce the future morbidity, mortality and the impact of
HIV/AIDS. The various components of this action plan are:
1.
Strengthening the Programme Management capacity at
National and State level:
At the national
level,
National AIDS
Control
Organisation under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare
has been created and is in operation. At the State/UT level,
a State AIDS Cell has been created. Empowered Committees
have been constituted in majority of States/UTs. Some States
like Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Pondicherry have created
Registered Societies exclusively for the implementation of
this Programme.
2.
Surveillance and Clinical Management
For surveillance of HIV infection, HIV testing
facilities exist in 62 Surveillance Centres all over the
country. These Centres are the designated laboratories in
the Departmentjof Microbiology in Medical Colleges, Research
Institutions and big hospitals^which carry out HIV testing
of blood samples received from various departments of the
attached hospitals on unlinked anonymous basis. The blood
samples are mostly from the high risk groups of individuals.
These surveillance centres have been established with the
aim of monitoring the geographical distribution and the
source of HIV infection.
The sentinel surveillance system had been adopted to
monitor the trend of HIV infection among various high risk
groups of population like Sexually Transmitted Disease^
Clinic attenders and intravenous drug users as well as
section of population like ante-natal mothers. This is being
carried out through 55 Sentinel sites attached to these
surveillance centres in various parts of the country.
As per information available with National AIDS Control
Organisation, the number of HIV infection and AIDS cases
during 1996 and 1997 are as follows
