Prevention
& Early Detection
Though
there is no TI working for migrants, the transit migrant’s intervention is done
by TI-NGO at Titilagarh railway station which is major transit point. During intervention
counseling (group and one to one) on HIV/AIDS, distribution of free condoms and
take home IEC materials are given.
In
Balangir district the migrants return during September to October. In that
period health camps are conducted in migration prone blocks for free health
checkup and HIV / TB / STI etc screening are also done. Suspected clients
including their partners are referred to nearest ICTC for HIV testing.
The
detected HIV positive client is immediately linked to ART centre for ART
registration and in regular interval they are followed up by concerned
counselor. During counseling session their destination / duration of stay /
cause of migration etc are observed for future tracking and follow up.
Linking to ART, Treatment Adherence,
Follow-up of MIS & LFU
By
making inter district coordination (Ganjam, VSS, Burla-Sambalpur, Angul) the
clients are followed up for LFU/Mis cases and ART registration. Out of 108 nos.
of detected migrants, out of them 28 nos. of client have registered out of
Balangir. Positive clients from other districts have also registered at
Balangir ARTC. We have ensured inter ARTC / LAC coordination during our ART
coordination meeting.

If

shared with other DAPCUs where they migrate.
