District Epidemiological Profiling Using Data Triangulation - Fact Sheets Volume I (Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttarkhand)

The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), since its third phase (2007-12) has a strong focus on district level planning, implementation and monitoring of interventions for prevention and control of HIV. The Programme is generating a rich evidence base on HIV/AIDS through a robust and expanded HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly reporting from over 15,000 programme units, mapping and size estimations, behavioural surveys as well as several studies, research projects and evaluations.

This technical document is an outcome of the data triangulation process and consists of a snapshot on the district background, and on the HIV epidemic profile of each district based on the updated information on HIV Sentinel Surveillance, monthly programme data and key vulnerability factors. As the first volume of “District Epidemiological Profile”, this document gives an overview of the HIV epidemic scenario in each of the 104 districts from the states of Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan.
