Dr. Mrunal Shetty, Project Director, KHPT, Pune Project no 1: Community Mobilization (Link Worker Scheme) under HIV/AIDS prevention and control programme for Aurangabad District Introduction and Background of project: With the epidemic first reported 25 years back in 1986, response to HIV in India continues to be a priority and focused action area particularly as in 2007 an estimated 2.39 million people aged 15-49 years were living with HIV (PLHIV). This makes the country third — after South Africa and Nigeria — in the international ranking for numbers of PLHIV in a country. As a signatory to the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS 2001 and the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS 2006, India remains committed to AIDS prevention and roll-back and reaching Universal Access targets. The country has striven to improve and expand its efforts to halt and reverse the HIV epidemic and to fulfill its obligations on reporting its status. India has methodically developed and moulded its HIV-AIDS program according to the epidemic‘s current pattern — taking reference of an emerging evidence base — and in collaboration with its partners. 4 | P a g e Annual Progress 2012-2013 Report India has a large population and population density coupled with low literacy level and low level of awareness of HIV/AIDS making it is one of the most challenging health problem ever faced by the country. More than 85% of HIV transmission in India is related to unprotected sexual intercourse or sharing of injecting equipment between an infected and uninfected individual. The core high risk groups of individuals are most at risk female sex workers, MSM, Injecting drug users. HIV transmission dynamics in India are such that unless effective targeted HIV prevention saturates the most at risk HRGs of FSWs, MSMs and IDUs, the epidemic will not be controlled. But the positive implication is that if HIV prevention is successful among these HRGs, the epidemic will be substantially curtailed. Surveillance of AIDS cases in Maharashtra from 1986 to May 2005 reports 1, 65,700 cases out of which 13,747 cases are reported from Aurangabad. (Monthly updates on AIDS, NACO). In spite of these figures unreported AIDS cases are much more. Maharashtra is one of the high prevalent states in India. Mumbai is addressed as the HIV capital of Maharashtra. (India & Maharashtra Ref. AAP) An important focus of the NACP III has been preventing HIV transmission from HRG to the general population via the migrants and truckers: also categorized as the bridge population. Focused interventions thus are aimed for migrants and truckers. But the major focus in NACP IV continues to be on the Core group which includes FSW, MSM and IDUs. Rationale Aurangabad is one of the fastest growing cities in Asia. Population of Aurangabad district is 35 95,928 it is divided in male and female i.e. Male – 19, 28,156 & Female – 17, 67, 772. In Aurangabad there are 4 industrial MIDC areas i.e. Paithan, Chikalthana, Waluj, Chitegaon & Shendra MIDC and there are Bajaj, Wockhardt, Videocon, Goodyear and SCODA like big industries working for various products. Workers required for these big and small scale industries are coming from in and outside the Aurangabad district. When they come here, at that time they are mostly coming single. There are chances of high risk behaviour from them because of freedom they get in Aurangabad city and proximity to hot-spots. Aurangabad is categorized as ―A‖ district in Maharashtra with a high prevalence of HIV among general population (represented as ANC) and among STI clinic attendees. For Aurangabad District, HIV positivity rate among STI cases is 8.89% (HSS 2008-09), HIV Prevalence among ANC prevalence rate is 0.11 % , HRGs is 2.6 % Vulnerable and bridge population 2.24%, (DAPCU Data 2012 ) There are estimated 3784 FSWs in Aurangabad District which includes non brothel based, Brothel based, and Home based and floating FSWs. The educational level of FSWs is low. Around 70,000 people migrated to Aurangabad Industrial area in search of work. Aurangabad district is located in the centre of the state & houses many tourist spots like Ajanta, Ellora, Paithan etc.The in & out migration of people makes it more vulnerable to transmission of HIV/AIDS. 50 Primary Health Centers (PHC), 279 Sub-centers, 21 ICTCs, 2 ART centers and one Community Care Center are available in the district. Rational for Link Worker Scheme: 1. Rural population more vulnerable to HIV as: – Awareness levels are lower than urban areas – Consequently: 5 | P a g e Annual Progress 2012-2013 Report – HIV no more Urban centric – Rural sites showing rapid increase in prevalence 2. Female sex workers based in rural areas are 20-47 % of all FSWs in district / state – Complex urban-rural migration amongst men and women, including FSWs – By not covering them, impossible to impact – Mainly invisible in rural area 3.
