This document provides an overview of the AIDS Control Programme in India. It discusses the structure and goals of the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), which aims to prevent further transmission of HIV and minimize socioeconomic impacts. The key components of NACP include targeted interventions for high-risk groups, expanding HIV testing and treatment nationwide, and scaling up prevention among the general population through strategies like promoting condom use and preventing parent-to-child transmission. NACP III (2007-2012) aimed to halt the HIV epidemic by increasing access to treatment while strengthening strategic information systems and capacity building.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging your immune system, HIV interferes with your body's ability to fight infection and disease.
The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), launched in 1992, is being implemented as a comprehensive programme for prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in India. Over time, the focus has shifted from raising awareness to behavior change, from a national response to a more decentralized response and to increasing involvement of NGOs and networks of PLHIV.
A decentralized system of disease surveillance for timely and effective public health action with a focus on functional integration of surveillance components of various vertical programmes.
This ppt contains all the information about Revised NationalTuberculosis Control programme (RNTCP) It is useful for students of the medical field learning Preventive and social medicine, Swasthavritta (Ayurved) and everyone who is interested in in knowing about it.
Pulse Polio is an immunisation campaign established by the government of India to eliminate poliomyelitis (polio) in India by vaccinating all children under the age of five years against the polio virus.
On 19 November 1985, GOI renamed EPI program, modifying the schedule as ‘Universal Immunization Program’ dedicated to the memory of Late Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi.
UIP has two vital components: immunization of pregnant women against tetanus, and immunization of children
Primary health centers are the corner stone of rural health services .
It act as a referral unit for 6 sub centers and refer out cases to CHCs.
It covers a population of 30,000 in plain area and 20,000 in hilly and tribal area.
There are 4-6 beds for patients and some diagnostic facilities are also available.

3. AIDS
• AIDS (Acquired Immuno-deficiency
Syndrome) is also called as “SLIM
DISEASE”.
• It is a fatal disease caused by a retro
virus called as the HUMAN
IMMUNO DEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV).
8. • A person suffering from this disease
is vulnerable to life threatening
opportunistic infections due to
breakdown of his immune system.
• Once infected by HIV infection a
person remains infected for the
remaining life time.
9. • Strictly the term AIDS refers to the
last stage of the HIV infection.
• AIDS can be called as a modern
pandemic affecting both
industrialized and developing
countries.

24. NACP
The aim of the programme is to
prevent further transmission of
HIV infection & to minimize the
socio economic impact resulting
from HIV infection.
25. THE NATIONAL STRATEGY
To achieve the programme objectives the
following components are enlisted.
• Establishment of Surveillance centers
in the country.
• Identification of high risk groups &
their screening.
• Issuing specific guidelines for the
management of detected cases
26. • Formulation of guidelines for
blood bank, blood product
manufacturers, blood donors &
dialysis units.
• IEC activities involving mass media.
• Research for reduction of personal
& social impact of the disease.
27. • Control of sexually transmitted
diseases.
• Condom programme.
28. INITIATIVES OF GOVT OF INDIA
• The Govt of India has initiated
programmes of prevention & raising
awareness under the Medium Term
Plan .
(1990 -92) NACP-I
(1992-2000) NACP -II
(2007-2012) NACP-III
29. NACP-I (1992-1999)
The objective of was to control the spread
of HIV infection. During this period a
major expansion of infrastructure of
blood banks was undertaken with the
establishment of 685 blood banks and 40
blood component separation.
Infrastructure for treatment of sexually
transmitted diseases in district hospitals
and medical colleges was created with
the establishment of 504 STD clinics.
30. • HIV sentinel surveillance system was
also initiated. NGOs were involved in
the prevention interventions with the
focus on awareness generation.
• The programme led to capacity
development at the state level with the
creation of State AIDS Cells in the
Directorate of Health Services in states
and union territories.
31. NACP-II (1999-2006)
• During a number of new initiatives were
undertaken and the programme expanded in
new areas. Targeted Interventions were
started through NGOs, with a focus on High
Risk Groups (HRGs) viz.
• commercial sex workers (CSWs), men who
have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug
users (IDUs), and bridge populations (truckers
and migrants).
32. • The package of services in these
interventions includes Behaviour
Change Communication,
management of STDs and condom
promotion.
33. The School AIDS Education
Programme was conceptualized to
build up life skills of adolescents
and address issues relating to
growing up.
All channels of communication were
engaged to spread awareness about
HIV/AIDS, promote safe behaviors
and increase condom usage.
34. GOALS OF NACP-III
• The primary goal of NACP III is to halt &
reverse the epidemic in India over the next
5 years by :
• 1.Prevention of new infection in high risk
groups & general population through
saturation of coverage of high risk group
with targeted interventions & scaled up
interventions in general population.
35. • Providing greater care, support &
treatment to a large number of people
with HIV infection.
• Strengthening the infrastructure,
system & human resources in
prevention, care, support & treatment
programmes at dist, state & national
levels.
36. • Strengthening a nation wide
Strategic Information
Management System.
37. PROGRAMME PRIORITIES
• General population who have greater
need for accessing prevention services,
treatment, voluntary counseling &
testing & condom will be in the next line
of priority.
38. • Ensure that all persons who need
treatment would have access to
prophylaxis & management of
opportunistic infections & persons
needing anti retro viral treatment (ART)
will get first line of ARV drugs.
39. • Provision of services for prevention
of parent to child transmission of
disease & assured access to
pediatric ARV for children having
HIV.
• Impact if HIV will be mitigated
through welfare agencies providing
nutritional support, opportunities
for income generation.
40. • NACP will invest in community care
centers to provide psycho social
support, outreach services, referrals &
palliative care.
• Socio economic determinants that make
a person vulnerable also increases the
risk of exposure to HIV, NACP will work
with agencies such as women’s group &
trade unions to integrate HIV prevention
into their activities.

• An estimated five percent adult
population affected by STDs, also has HIV
infection.. Limited diagnostic facilities to :
• manage complicated STDs and drug
resistance to major STDs are the other
issues of concern that NACP-III addresses
53. • Under NACP-III, a demand for STD
services is generated through its
awareness on one hand and on the
other STD services are expanded .........
• Through its integration with the
Reproductive and Child Health
Programme..
55. VOLUNTARY COUNSELING AND
TESTING
• HIV counselling and testing services
were started in India in 1997. There
are now more than 4000
Counselling and Testing Centres,
mainly located in government
hospitals.
56. • Under NACP-III, Voluntary Counselling and
Testing Centres (VCTC) and facilities providing
Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission of
HIV/AIDS (PPTCT) services are remodelled as
a hub or ‘Integrated Counselling and Testing
Centre’ (ICTC) to provide services to all clients
under one roof.
• An ICTC is a place where a person is
counselled and tested for HIV, of his own free
will or as advised by a medical provider. The
main functions of an ICTC are:
57. PPTCT PROGRAM
• The Prevention of Parent to Child
Transmission of HIV/AIDS (PPTCT)
programme was started in the country
in the year 2002 following a feasibility
study in 11 major hospitals in the five
high HIV prevalence states.
58. • Presently, there are more than 4000
Integrated Counselling and Testing
Centres (ICTCs) in the country, most of
these in government hospitals, which
offer PPTCT services to pregnant
women.
• 502 are located in Obstetrics and
Gynaecology Departments and in
Maternity Homes where the client load
is predominantly comprised of pregnant
women

65. POST EXPOSURE
PROPHYLAXIS
• Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) refers
to comprehensive medical management
to minimise the risk of infection among
Health Care Personnel (HCP) following
potential exposure to blood-borne
pathogens (STDs).
66. • Prophylactic measures include,
counselling, risk assessment, relevant
laboratory investigations based on
informed consent of the source.
• follow up and support of exposed
person, first aid and depending on the
risk assessment, the provision of short
term (four weeks) of antiretroviral drugs
67. PROMOTION OF CONDOM
• Under NACP-III condom promotion continues
to be an important prevention strategy. The
programme AIMS :
1. Increase condom use during sex with non-regular
partner, which is the key to limiting HIV spread
through sexual route.
68. 2. Promote condoms distributed by social
marketing programmes.
3. Increase the distribution of free
condoms distributed through STI and
STD clinics, reaching those who are at
the highest risk of acquiring or
transmitting HIV.
