HIV/AIDS Control Programme
With the aim of preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS, the Targeted Intervention program in collaboration with the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) and the Uttarakhand State AIDS Control Society (USACS) is being operated by our organization in Roorkee (Haridwar) for the last 13 years. This program is being run among 950 identified high-risk groups in Roorkee city and surrounding areas. The objective of the scheme is to make the target group aware of HIV/AIDS, the reasons for the spread of HIV/AIDS, ways to avoid them, methods of prevention and treatment. By conducting blood test and medical checkup of the targeted people and other citizens, efforts are being made to ensure that these people are not infected with HIV/AIDS.
Under this project, we are working with various target groups like MSM, TG, FSW and IDUs. Apart from health check-up of high-risk group people, we are also conducting comprehensive check-up of people in hotspot areas. We are also examining people by visiting jail and de-addiction centers in Roorkee.
We also connect the high risk group people associated with the organization with various types of vocational training and also provide legal assistance, if needed. New needles and syringes are also made available to the IDUs people on a regular basis.

This year we have identified more than 24 HIV positive people who were unaware of their existence. These people have been linked to government treatment centers. Where they are getting free medical check up and medicines. Our workers are in constant touch with them.
This year we have identified new areas around Roorkee and tried to connect some more HRGs with us. We have started providing service to these new people by registering them.
We have also tried to add some high risk group people or their family members to the vocational trainings conducted by the organization. Due to which their source of income will increase.
