Conceptual Framework

In the Tenth Five Year Plan India has targeted to achieve zero level increase of HIV/AIDS

prevalence by 2007. The target is Halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015.

In this perspective the Mainstreaming HIV and AIDS into national development processes is

one of the key approaches of addressing both the direct and indirect causes of the growing

epidemic through integrated

planning and multi-sectoral and

multi-stakeholder response.

The mainstreaming process

facilitates multisectoral actions.

It is a good starting point to

engage sectors that ought to but have as yet not participated in the overall national HIV and

AIDS responses. In Rajasthan the program is launched in six districts, namely, Ajmer, Alwar,

Barmer, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Through Mainstreaming of HIV project in these districts

the capacity building of stakeholders belonging to Government Sector, Corporate and Non HIV

NGOs is done through training. As a result the stakeholders- Government departments,

Corporate and Non HIV NGOs take the initiative to become part of this national Effort for

Mainstreaming of HIV. But constant follow-up action is important to develop a sustainable

mechanism of information dissemination on HIV to achieve the project objectives.

As per the Annual Work Plan the graph given below shows the achievement of targets with

Government department, Non HIV NGOs and Corporate sector.


In terms of the follow up with these stakeholders, the Follow-up Week was observed from

24th-29th November 2008 as a follow-up action with the stakeholders who were imparted

training during the initial phase of the project from August 2007 to November 2008.

Condom Corners

Condom is the right choice of Contraceptive for Prevention and Control of HIV. Accessibility

and availability of condom is an important determinant in condom use. How to increase

condom use is an important issue to increase safe sex behavior. During the trainings with

stakeholders there was a suggestion to promote condoms by opening new outlets.

Mainstreaming Units made an innovative approach by modifying Halmets in to Condom

Corner. The Halmets, modified as Condom corners, were given to the stakeholders to install on

an easily accessible location of their premises. The Condom Corners are created in the

premises of Government departments, Non HIV NGOs and Corporate and approximately

10,000 condoms were filled during the week.
