In four years, the number of
HIV-infected people in the state has increased by 116 per cent despite several
target intervention (TI) schemes. And perhaps the biggest fail ure of the state
is in the implementation of female con dom scheme. Reason: National Aids
Control Organisation (NACO) hasn't provided a single penny to AMC's Aids
Control Society (AMCACS) since its inception seven years ago.
According to NACO's official
website, AMCACS is responsible for effective implementation of TI which helps
in controlling the spread of infection among the vulnerable groups in the city.
Female sex workers, drug addicts and homosexuals top the priority list in the TI
programme.
