Prevention & Early Detection
  • In the migration group, it is difficult to detect early because of mobility. But we can try to prevent and detect early e. g. identifying the migrant’s area in the city; district and state then we can start an intervention.
  • We try to contact with community leaders and connect and involve them in the programme.
  • Develop the IEC and BCC material in their own languages.
  • Establish the facility either in or near to their areas.
  • We also try to meet owner of their work places, industries; shads to obtain the permission to organize a programme. Also request them to provide the leaves to migrant workers for taking services.
  • We also plan our service schedules as per their availability, holiday etc. 


Linking  to ART, Treatment Adherence, Follow-up of MIS & LFU
  • Arrange the meeting with president of association of industries, owner of work place for giving permission and leave for taking treatment.
  • Setting ARTC’s time schedule according to migrant’s time & availability.
  • Prepare IEC,BCC material in their own languages and as per their social aspects.
  • In the cases of MIS’ & LFUs we have tried to contact with their state’s sacs and also particular district’s ARTC; where the first visit of MIS was done.
  • Sharing a line list of migrant MIS & LFUs among ARTCs.
  • Contact with leaders of communities to track migrants, because many time leader has more authentic information about place of migrations.
  • Establish on-line system for transfer out patients.  
PPTCT services
  • Develop the peer educator system, specially for migrant ANCs. Because non-awareness of migrant females about services provide by PHCs, CHCs and other healthcare centers.
  • She doesn’t know the name and address of ASHA Workers of their areas.
  • She feels loneliness in these types of situations.

The critical most part of NACP is the ART Linkages amongst Migrant Population.

Kolhapur DAPCU has linked many inter state migrant cases by coordinating among DAPCUs. e.g. – in the month of June, 2013 an ANC case from Karnataka migrated to Kolhapur. Concerned ICTC counselor shared this information with Belgaum DAPCU and with Karnataka SACS. It was further coordinated with MSACS by KSACS. MSACS forwarded details of the client to Kolhapur DAPCU. The DAPCU shared client’s details with the nearby ICTC counselor where she had been migrated. Finally, this client was traced out by collective efforts of DAPCU and PPTCT NGO. And in such a way linked to Kolhapur GMC ART Center.

Kolhapur District’s NGO, Lotus Medical Foundation migrants project played a vital role in giving preventive measures and has taken innovative efforts to create awareness through social activities.

Along with MSPSS NGO for migrants is also taking special efforts with the help of ICTC staff for STI/HIV screening and doing appreciable work in referral and linkages.


A pilot project is going to be held by NACO and MSACS for seasonal Migrant i.e. sugarcane cutters of Kolhapur District’s Sugar Factories. Preliminary meetings has been done under the chairmanship of  Hon. Project Director, MSACS, Mr. Prakash Sabade, on 17th April, 2013 in the presence of District Collector, Joint Director, Civil Surgeon, DHO & Labour Welfare Officers from sugar factories.

1.        Prevention & Early Detection:

In Karnataka is Kodagu District is a rural region with most of the economy based on agriculture, plantations and forestry. Coffee processing is a major economic contributor. Most of the people are engaged in coffee plantation work, which is the backbone of this economy. The major industries are Coffee Curing industries, Spices, Honey and Wax products. In recent years, tourism has begun to play a role in the economy, which has let to mushrooming of hotels and hence has attracted significant number of migrants from across the state and country.As Kodagu  is largely a coffee growing district, it attracts large number of estate workers from across the state and sometime from other states. 
  • In the present situation, there are lots of Migrant population in the District. Most of them come as labourers to work in plantation and construction sites. from Orissa, West Bengal, Assam, U.P, Chathisgad, Rajasthan, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala  & Bellary, Chamarajnagar & other  parts of Karnataka.
  • Most of them come to work, leaving their family in their own native, where there may be a chance of High Risk Behavior.
  • HIV positive cases are found in the ICTC Centre’s & most of them are illiterates & lack Health education including HIV-AIDS & STI.
  • In order to prevent further infection & also to provide care, treatment & services to the infected, the need of HIV-AIDS awareness along with the services were felt in the Kodagu District.
  • Asha KiranaTI-NGO is working for migrant workers at the construction sites & in the Plantation Sector.
  • In this regard  In co-ordination with DAPCU, Asha Kiran TI-NGO & Concerned heads of the site,  Special Health Check-up camps were held with awareness on HIV-AIDS, STI , Dental Check-up & General Health were held in different Estates  & Migrant Sites. So that we can create awareness on HIV-AIDS among the migrant workers and also we reduce the risk of transmission. Those who are found positive can be identified at the earliest to provide proper treatment, care & support.

2.        Linking  to ART, Treatment Adherence, Follow-up of MIS & LFU:
  • Those found Positive are linked to the ART Centre at the earliest with proper counselling by the ICTC & ART Counsellor.
  • Continuous follow-up is done through the outreach workers of TI-NGO, when the leave the District on work they will be transferred out to the nearest ART Centre. 

3.        PPTCT services:
  • As per the PPTCT Guideline all the Registered ANC’s are referred for HIV Counselling & Testing services. And the Positive Clients are  linked to the ART at the earliest & will be given necessary PPTCT services
  • In Kodagu sometimes we get clients from out of Districts (either Parents House or Husband’s House or the native of those Districts) like Mysore, Dakshina Kannada, Mandya etc. Such cases will be informed to the concerned District, for follow-up for delivery, treatment & MB Pair follow-up.
  • Some time we get cases from other District for Delivery & further follow-up , such cases will be provide proper care, treatment & Support

4.        Challenges in Providing HIV/AIDS services to the Migrant Clients:
  • It is difficult to link them to ART, especially if their stay in the Place is for a short period
  • Language barrier if the client is from North Eastern States where they will not knowing any other language other than their mother tongue.
  • Poor Adherence & Follow-up for treatment & more chances of MIS & LFU of out of state Clients. 
  • Difficulty in tracing the clients from out of state as they are migrants they will not going back to their native instead they will go to different site on work.


Amravati DAPCU Response to the Theme- Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Services to the HIV Positive Migrants

0 comments
Amravati district is having Border of Madhya Pradesh and all the district of Amravati division like, Akola, Yavatmal, Washim and Buldhana also a border of Nagpur and Wardha District. In Amravati the PLHIV migrants from adjoining district are more because the divisional head quarter are in Amravati.
  1. For the prevention and early detection the regular medical checkup camp in the migrant area.
  2. At the time of medical checkup camp the two addresses of migrant with permanent contact no. should collect.
  3. The reactive client link ART center immediately if the client found in medical camp or the PLHIV migrant from other district.
  4. The choice available to client where he/she are convenient to take the treatment.
  5. In within district the follow-up of LFU/MIS client take through the ORW of NGO/Network and the ICTC staff.
  6. In other district the details of the client mail to the concert DAPCU and the Network.
  7. In other State the details of the client mail to DAPCU SACS and the concert DAPCU and Network.
  8. In PPTCT services the problem of PLHIV migrant are common because the lady are came for delivery in her mother’s home and if found reactive she return her husband’s home after delivery. On this cases we collect the both the address of reactive ANC and transfer the information to concert DAPCU for remaining services.
  9. The responsibility of migrant PLHIV should give to concert program NGO like if the client is ANC the responsibility gives to PPTCT NGO, For FSW it gives to TI-FSW.
  10. But after all it is very crucial to cover PLHIV migrant.

The coordination of the DAPCU with other NGO, Network, CBO and other DAPCU are playing important role to cover migrant PLHIVs.
