Target
Achievment
In the Tenth Five Year Plan India has targeted to achieve zero level increase of HIV/AIDS
prevalence by 2007. The target is Halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015.
In this perspective the Mainstreaming HIV and AIDS into national development processes is
one of the key approaches of addressing both the direct and indirect causes of the growing
epidemic through integrated
planning and multi-sectoral and
multi-stakeholder response.
The mainstreaming process
facilitates multisectoral actions.
It is a good starting point to
engage sectors that ought to but have as yet not participated in the overall national HIV and
AIDS responses. In Rajasthan the program is launched in six districts, namely, Ajmer, Alwar,
Barmer, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Through Mainstreaming of HIV project in these
districts the capacity building of stakeholders belonging to Government Sector, Corporate and
Non HIV NGOs is done through training. As a result the stakeholders- Government
departments, Corporate and Non HIV NGOs take the initiative to become part of this national
Effort for Mainstreaming of HIV. But constant follow-up action is important to develop a
sustainable mechanism of information dissemination on HIV to achieve the project objectives.
As per the Annual Work Plan the graph given below shows the achievement of targets with
Government department, Non HIV NGOs and Corporate sector.

Condom Corners
Condom is the right choice of Contraceptive for Prevention and Control of HIV. Accessibility
and availability of condom is an important determinant in condom use. How to increase
condom use is an important issue to increase safe sex behavior. During the trainings with
stakeholders there was a suggestion to promote condoms by opening new outlets.
Mainstreaming Units made an innovative approach by modifying Halmets in to Condom
Corner. The Halmets, modified as Condom corners, were given to the stakeholders to install
on an easily accessible location of their premises. The Condom Corners are created in the
premises of Government departments, Non HIV NGOs and Corporate and approximately
10,000 condoms were filled during the week.
