What is NACO Internship Programme 2024?
The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), launched in 1992, is being implemented by NACO under Ministry of Health & Family Welfare as a comprehensive programme for prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in India. Over time, the focus has shifted from raising awareness to behaviour change, from a national response to a more decentralised approach and to increase involvement of NGOs and networks of PLHIV. Prevention Services, Testing of HIV/STI, and Care, Support & Treatment Services are key pillars of all the HIV prevention and control efforts in India. Phase V of the National AIDS Control Programme is aimed at reducing annual new HIV infections and AIDS related mortalities by 80% from the baseline value of 2010. It also aims to attain the dual elimination of vertical transmission, elimination of HIV/AIDS related stigma while promoting universal access to quality STI/RTI services to at-risk and vulnerable populations.
