AIDS is a severe immunological disorder caused by the retrovirus HIV, resulting in a defect in cell-mediated immune response
that is manifested by increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and to certain rare cancers. It is transmitted primarily
by exposure to contaminated body fluids, especially blood and semen. An observational study was conducted on randomly selected
female sex workers (FSW), high risk men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender (TGs), and injecting drug users (IDUs) in
the year 2015-16 in Chandigarh, Punjab and Nepal. The activities mainly includes STI services, condom use, behaviour change
communication (BCC) through peer and outreach, building enabling environment, ownership building in the community, linking
prevention to HIV related care and support services. These activities are provided through ICTC, mobile ICTC, network clinics
and dispensaries. These activities are carried out as per the guidelines of National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO). It can be
concluded as the TI project focuses on FSWs to provide them preventive, promotive and curative facilities against HIV/AIDS.
