Red Ribbon Clubs for awareness of HIV/AIDS in Himachal

Shimla: Hoping to create HIV/AIDS awareness in the state, The Himachal

Pradesh State AIDS Control Society has decided to set up a Red Ribbon

Club in all the government departments of the state.

The decision was announced by Dr Sulakshana Puri, Project Director, of

the society after presiding over a training workshop on HIV/AIDS here.

A nodal officer would be responsible for setting up the club in every

department and would coordinate with the society and the departments.

Puri informed that a state-wide campaign would be launched for the

control of the disease, with the cooperation of departments, NGOs, PRIs

and other voluntary organisations. She said that HIV affected cases

were being treated free of cost in the state.
