Chandigarh State AIDS Control Society has adopted an
innovative way for creating HIV/AIDS awareness. 100 numbers of Autos
have been got fabricated with HIV/AIDS awareness message to move
around tri city. Dr. Vanita Gupta, Project Director, Chandigarh
State AIDS Control Society informed that this is a
pilot project for raising awareness among local city
population about HIV/AIDS modes of transmission and prevention and
also creating awareness about the free services
available in the field of HIV/AIDS. We are encouraging voluntary
HIV testing and also trying to create openness about the disease by speaking
about it publically. We think that this awareness campaign would be
a big success and will increase the awareness level. I request
people to come forward and get them tested for HIV which is
free and confidential. This service is available in all Government
Health Institutes.
