The document discusses mainstreaming HIV/AIDS efforts in Rajasthan, India. It notes that while prevalence of HIV is low in Rajasthan, vulnerability is high due to factors like migration, tourism, sex work, and low education/income levels. Mainstreaming is described as addressing HIV internally and externally across all sectors. The 5-year mainstreaming project will work in 25 districts across 5 low prevalence states, including 6 districts in Rajasthan, to strengthen systems, build capacity, and foster collaboration around mainstreaming HIV/AIDS.
