Targeted Intervention for reducing the prevalence HIV/AIDS

It’s never too late

TI- Injection Drug Users (IDUs)

IDUs are a third HRG for which targeted interventions are of critical importance. HIV is highly transmissible through the sharing of needles and other injection equipment, so it can spread very rapidly within networks of IDUs who share injecting equipment with each other. Once HIV prevalence is high in the IDU population, it can expand quickly into their sexual networks. Some IDUs are also sex workers, which can quickly link HIV transmission in the IDU networks to transmission in the larger high-risk sexual networks.
With the financial support of RSACS (Rajasthan State AIDS Control Society), Jaipur, TI project, with a target of 400 IDUs (Injecting Drug Users), has been started from March 2011, in Kota district of Rajasthan. As part of targeted interventions, we focus on all the six components of TI:
• Provision of commodities
• Clinical services
• Enabling environment
• Behavioral Communication change
• Community Mobilization
• Referral and Linkages

The project has 645 registered IDUs.

The core group under TI the first one is Female sex worker (FSW) then MSM and IDU HRGs and the bridge population like Migrant and Trucker are mainly exposed with FSW apart from this the general population are also exposed with FSW.
