The Second National HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) Control Project aims to implement selected parts of the second phase of India's national program, namely to reduce the rate of growth of HIV infection in India; and to strengthen India's capacity to respond to HIV/AIDS. The project has two components. The first delivers cost-effective interventions against HIV/AIDS by 1) targeting interventions for groups at high risk, specifically commercial sex workers, injecting drug users, migrant workers, men having sex with men, and STI (sexually transmitted infection) clinic attendees; 2) providing locally appropriate information, communication, and awareness campaigns; voluntary testing and counseling; and a strengthened infrastructure for blood safety and hospital and occupational precaution programs; and 3) establishing new sources of support for AIDS care in partnership with nongovernmental organizations. The second component finances institutional strengthening by enhancing planning, management, and implementation capacity at the national, state, and local levels; strengthens the leadership capacity of the health and family welfare ministry; conducts training; builds capacity for ongoing monitoring and supervision; supports operational research and research and development; and supports broad social mobilization and cooperation and information.
