| HIV/AIDS |
| |
| HIV/AIDS is one of the serious issues of the public health in India. This has reflected in the policy adopted by the National AIDS Control Society which led to the formulation of an action plan on HIV/AIDS. |
| |
| |
LEPRA Society through its projects in Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Bihar target interventions for high risk groups like commercial sex workers, men having sex with men, truckers, intravenous drug users etc. The pandemic has moved from the high-risk groups into the general population. As the HIV problem intensifies, the issues of care and support for the affected individuals and prevention of HIV transmission to those who are not affected, has become even more critical. |
