To improve ICTC service to the HRG’s (twice a year).
DAPCU supports the route map planning for Mobile ICTC Services and camps
with the help of DSACS & TI-NGOs. This ensures that facilities are
available to at the sites and times opportune to HRGs.
It was observed that there are many obstacles to bring FSWs to ICTC
Centers at G B Road Area. Consequently a strategy has been adopted by
DAPCU-Central with the help of Joint TI-NGO working at G B Road to overcome
those obstacles:
Head of Brothels are also being sensitized to encourage FSWs to get
benefits of HIV-AIDS Health Services which are being provided to them so that
spread of epidemic can be stopped & reversed in the area very sensitive for
the same.
Pre ART Registration and Testing for CD4 Count of HRGs found HIV
Positive.
Good co-ordination and linkages among workforces from TI-NGOs, ICTCs and
ART Centres have been ascertained through productive interactions &
discussions in regular meetings at district level by DAPCU, so that Pre ART
Registration, CD4 Testing, ART Services & Follow-ups have been ensured for
each and every HRG found HIV Positive.
To improve the STI service to the HRG’s and ensures RMCs.
Joint TI-NGO working for FSWs in the district has been linked with
nearby Delhi Government Dispensary under DHS to provide General Medicines to
FSWs at STI Clinic.
As numerous DSACS designated STI Clinics are situated within the same
space provided for ICTC/PPTCTs in the District. Therefore, HRGs are being
encouraged to obtain benefits of both services at the same time.
Distribution of condoms, needle & syringes to all HRGs
DAPCU manages the situation of shortage of condoms at TI-NGOs by
arrangement of the same through other TI-NGOs and Health Facilities under
different authorities’ i.e. Delhi Government, MCD, NDMC etc.
Steps taken by DAPCU-Central to support TIs in accessing the
District Administration are:
Advocacy Meetings with Police Department have been conducted in
cooperation of TSU in the District. Problems face by HRGs related to crime, law
& orders and their possible remedies were discussed. A good rapport was
developed between Police Administration & TI-NGOs working at the district
level.
Representatives of TI-NGOs have been included in the DAPCC &
DCC for HIV-TB constituted under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner
(Revenue). Hence better coordination between District Administration &
TI-NGOs has been building.
Social Benefit Schemes:
TI-NGOs are always motivated & supported by DAPCU-Central to
educated & enrolled HRGs in Social Benefit Schemes of various departments
of Governments.
TI-NGO Maitri has taken an initiative to facilitate the migrant and
homeless population community to get their identity in Delhi by getting their
Voter ID cards. Over 1500 migrant population have been benefited from the
same.
Successes:
Mobile ICTCs provided by DSACS are also being used to provide the
counselling and testing facilities to HRGs at their activity areas.
More than 100% HRGs are registered in TI-NGOs with respect to targets
provide to them by DSACS.
General Medicines are provided to HRGs at STI Clinic of Joint TI-NGO in
co-ordination with Dispensary under DHS.
A good rapport was developed between Police Administration & TI-NGOs
working at the district level through Advocacy Meetings facilitated by
DAPCU-Central in co-ordination with TSUs for the benefit of HRGs.
Challenges faced:
Difficulties to bring Brothel based HRGs (FSWs) to ICTC for counseling
& Testing.
Non-availability of Identification proofs of HRGs which is necessary to
enrolled in various Social Benefit Schemes of Governments.
