DAPCU Amravati Response to Role of DAPCUs to Support TI

In Amravati District here is no Brothel Base area of FSW in 13 blocks out of 14 blocks and it is varying crucial to work with non-brothel based FSW, in one block where brothel there is only 20-25 FSWs.  There are 3 TI-NGOs working with FSW, Migrant & MSM (with support of AIDS Allianz). Out of 3 NGOs one are CBO of MSM and young team are work there.

DAPCU Amravati play very important role to help NGOs for any component.

      1)      DAPCU Amravati supports MSM CBO for registration in Charity Commissioner.

      2)      DAPCU Amravati help to FSW NGO for collecting the High Risk Area of FSW from the various 

            departments like, Police, Media (Print and Electronic) and Auto Rickshaw Union.

      3)      DAPCU Amravati Supports Migrant NGO to organize IEC activities in various factories, Construction site 

            and Highway work.  

      4)      In every DAPCC the DAPCU Amravati raise the issue of NGO’s some issues and solution from DAPCC

            are:

Sr.No.	Issues of NGO’s	Solution/Action taken in DAPCC	Effect of Action taken/solution.	In within period.
1	One of the Oil refinery not permitted Migrant NGO to organize any type of IEC or Condom Depot.	In DAPCC, D.C. Call labor officer immediately.	The all refinery and industries permit to organize all type of activity.	Within 3 days.

In the District like Amravati where Brothel area of FSW are not available and chess them and test them It is always challenging to work for the TIs. The estimated  number of HRG’s in the district are as FSW- 1789 contract is around 1000 FSW & MSM– 77 contract is around 400 MSM. Today the registration of FSW in TI is 980 and 257 of MSM. Strategies used for registration are:

1)      Take help of Police (Local Crime Branch-LCB) of their site, Auto Union leaders and Media persons. 

2)      Coordination of all NGO’s those work on health issues they refer to TI-NGO’s.

3)      Coordination of TI-NGO’s and staff of Standalone and F-ICTC.

4)      Coordination of DAPCU with Highway Police.

           

DAPCU provide the all support for ICTC testing, RMC’s and Condoms time to time. Take review in every CMIS meeting regarding the HIV testing, VDRL, STI services and supply of condom. Also take review of pre-ART registration and MIS/LFU in special meeting which conduct in last week of every month.

DAPCU and TSU P.O. calculate the exact target of testing and Condom distribution. Attend health camp with jointly and suggest some changes.

Challenges in work with TI are more, which not in our hand is.

1)      Turnover of Staff in every two or three months.

2)      Testing of HRG in stock out period.

3)      Identification of HRG’s.

4)      Registration of HRG’s from remote area.

5)      Registration of HRG’s from other district those come for only high risk activity.
