Promoting Access to care and Treatment
Executive Summary
“P romoting Access to Care and Treatment
-PACT” program aims to scale up of access
to care and support for PLHIV in line with the public
ART services. The program is being implemented
in the eight highly vulnerable states of India; Uttar
Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar,
West Bengal, Orissa and Chattisgarh. The program
is supported by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria under Round-6. This is a
five year program and has completed its first phase
of implementation in May 2009.
Under the program care and support services
have been provided to People Living with HIV
(PLHIV) through District Level Network (DLN) and
Community Care Centers (CCC).
INP+ has established 70 DLN in the states of UP, MP
and Rajasthan. 8573 PLHIV have been enrolled in
the DLN for care and support services. They have
been provided psycho-social support through peer
counseling, support group meetings and home
visits. To bridge the gaps between service providers
and PLHIV interaction meetings have been
organized in the districts where DLN have been
established. In many districts advocacy initiatives
have been taken by these networks. These efforts
helped PLHIV in accessing various social security
schemes from the government. The network has
also intervened and addressed issues of stigma and
discrimination.
and Rajasthan. CCCs work in close coordination
with the ART centers. In Phase 1, 67 CCCs have
been established. 22054 PLHIV have been provided
care and support services through CCCs. The CCC
provides intensive counseling on drug adherence,
manages minor Opportunistic Infections and trace
the defaulters through outreach services.
The national and regional level coordination
meetings facilitated by NACO has helped in
improving coordination. The streamlining of
monthly ART – CCC coordination meetings at the
district level has facilitated better linkages and
referrals.
To strengthen the skills and knowledge of service
providers in effectively implementing the program,
trainings have been organized. During Phase I, 1022
service providers have been provided trainings at
DLN and CCC.
PFI organized advocacy workshops to mainstream
HIV/AIDS and to focus on reducing stigma and
discrimination. Need based workshops were
organized at the state and district level.

Population Foundation of India | Annual Report June 2008 - May 2009
Overview
T he National AIDS Control Program (NACP) III aims
at halting and reversing the epidemic in India
over a period of five years by integrating prevention,
care, support and treatment interventions. The
NACP-III has adopted a comprehensive strategy
to strengthen family and community care, provide
psycho-social support to individuals affected by
HIV/AIDS and ensure accessible and affordable
treatment services.
The 2007 prevalence estimates show
that India has 2.31 million (1.8-2.9
million) People Living with HIV, with an
estimated prevalence of 0.34%.
The HIV epidemic in India continues to be
concentrated in high risk and vulnerable population
groups. The 2007 prevalence estimates show that
India has 2.31 million (1.8-2.9 million) People Living
with HIV, with an estimated prevalence of 0.34%.
Although the proportion of People Living with
HIV is lower than previously estimated, India’s
epidemic continues to affect large numbers of
people. The six high prevalence states; Andhra
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu
in the south, and Manipur and Nagaland in the
north east) contribute for almost two-third of the
HIV burden in the country. The data also shows that
the epidemic is on the rise in selected districts in
low prevalence states such as Mizoram (northeast),
Rajasthan (west), Bihar (north), Orissa and West
Bengal (east).
In response to these trends, and given the dynamic
nature of the epidemic, National AIDS Control
Program - III (2007-2012) shifted its focus from a
state-based response to a district-based response.
Accordingly, District AIDS Prevention and Control
Units (DAPCU) are being established in 195 A & B
districts to provide management oversight to HIV/
AIDS activities in the districts.
With assistance of The Global Fund under Round
4 HIV grant, ART services were launched in 2004.
The country focused on providing access to first
line ARV drugs. In line with this, ART Centers were
set up in medical colleges, tertiary hospitals and
large district hospitals. To ensure optimal drug
adherence, Community Care Centers (CCC) were
initiated to act as a bridge between the patient
and the ART centers and provide psycho-social
support, treatment literacy for drug adherence,
outreach services, treatment of minor OIs and
referral services.

been established and strengthened in the states of
Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. A
total of 8573 PLHIV have been enrolled for care and
support services in the 70 DLNs in Phase-1.
DLN provides psycho-social support to
PLHIV by providing them a platform
where they can share their feelings
and experiences
Networks for People Living with
HIV/AIDS
The Indian Network for People Living with HIV/
AIDS has established and strengthened State and
District Level Networks of PLHIV in the states of Uttar
Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
The process of setting up a DLN is initiated through
support group meetings in different parts of the
district which gradually evolves into a DLN. The
network of PLHIV is a registered body under the
Society’s Registration Act and has a governing board
The Program Management Unit (PMU) of INP+
and the State Level Networks provide oversight to
manage and monitor the activities of District Level
Networks (DLNs). They facilitate capacity building of
staff at DLN on peer education, positive living and
positive prevention, advocacy, MIS, administration
and finance.
Functions of a DLN
DLN provides psycho-social support to PLHIV by
providing them a platform where they can share
their feelings and experiences. The peer support
provided by the network has enabled PLHIV to
come to terms with their HIV status, access services
and lead a positive life. The DLN also advocate and
facilitate PLHIV to access social security schemes and
legal aid.
DLN enroll PLHIV referred by the ICTC, PPTCT, CCC,
ART centre, DOTS centre and other organizations as
well as those who have been identified as living with
HIV during the outreach.
DLN conduct Support Group Meetings (SGM) in their
respective districts for providing peer support and
information to its members and their care givers.

financial difficulties.
Vinod got in touch with the DLN and became a
member. She shared her problems with the DLN.
With many such cases, the DLN met Mr. Rohit
Kumar, District Collector, Jalore for employment
under NREGA. The District Collector was very
sensitive to the issue and with the request from
DLN; he forwarded the application form of Ms.
Vinod to the Gram Panchayat, Jalore for work
under NREGA.
The Gram Panchayat issued her a job card to work
under the NREGA. Vinod was given the charge of
the crèche to look after the kids of labourers and
serve water at the worksite instead of the usual
hard labour. With her 100 days employment she
is now able to manage her family
Her regular interaction with the DLN developed
her confidence and knowledge on various issues
related to HIV and livelihood. Recently through
an initiative from the Jalore DLN she was trained
on stitching under a livelihood initiative for
Women Living with HIV/AIDS. Vinod stitches
at home and sells her products through a local
NGO. She says, “Today I am confident to take care
of my family”.
Inclusion of PLHIV in National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) in Jalore, Rajasthan
The (NREGA) is a flagship program of the government which aims to reduce poverty in rural areas by
providing employment to families Below Poverty Line.
The DLN, Jalore, Rajasthan approached the District Collector, Mr. Rohit Kumar to provide an opportunity
for PLHIV involvement in the NREGA program. On his directive, the District Rural Development Authority
(DRDA) provided two day supervisor’s (known as Meth) training to 38 PLHIV enrolled in DLN. Today these
PLHIV work as ‘meth’ and monitor the implementation of the NREGA program in various villages in the
district. The District Collector also requested Zila Panchayat Pradhan (Rural Local Bodies) to issue job cards
and give preference to PLHIV in NREGA job allocation. The Zila Panchayat Pradhan issued instructions to
block officials and subsequently to Gram Panchayats. Taking the example from Jalore district, the state
government has issued directive for inclusion of all PLHIV seeking employment under the NREGA across
all districts in the state. This initiative in Jalore has helped other DLNs in Rajasthan to take up the issue of
employment under the NREGA in their districts.

Promoting Access to care and Treatment
Learnings
• The national effort to strengthen coordination
between CCC and ART center has helped in
streamlining referrals of PLHIV initiated on ART
to the CCC, sharing of information by the ART
center on lost to follow up and defaulter and
institutionalizing structured monthly ART-CCC
coordination meetings.
• ART Centres cater to a cluster of districts. CCCs
are positioned near the ART Centres. Therefore,
access to services and follow up of PLHIV in
remote areas is a challenge. Hence lateral
linkages between ART Centres, DLNs, ICTCs,
Targeted Intervention partners and NGOs need
to be further strengthened for early access to
services and tracing of defaulters.
• Most of PLHIV accessing services from the DLN
and CCC belong to the lower socio-economic
groups. Their access to social security schemes
and support for livelihood opportunities would
enhance the quality of life.
