What is happening about NACP III ?

[Guest guest]

Dear FORUM,

There is a lot happening on 3rd National AIDS Control Program (NACP III), we

would kindly request somebody to update us on what is the role of MSM TI

interventions in NACP III with respect to Maharashtra.

Udaan has also been doing intervention programmes with the MSM population since

1992 in Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Raigad, Nasik, Jalgaon and Nanded.

Though we are not supported by any of the three bodies ( MDACS, MSACS and AVERT)

till today, we have played a very important role in controlling HIV and

empowering the community.

Since Udaan is not on the NACO list for MSM interventions, Udaan has always been

deprived of information on TI interventions, and hence we earnestly request the

CIVIL SOCIETIES, STATE AIDS CONTROL SOCIETY AND THE DISTRICT AIDS CONTROL

SOCIETY AND NACO REPRESENTATIVES on the list, to provide us with information on

NACP III and also keep us informed of any meetings on this subject.
