Alliance India

This programme works with underprivileged communities to reduce the mortality of people suffering from HIV by informing them about the correct dosage and way of taking drugs. It facilitates policy implementation, sensitisation and awareness of drug law enforcement in addition to fixing service delivery gaps, providing technical assistance to the national programme for drug prevention, distribution of contraceptives, peer-led interventions, needle and syringe programmes and access to stigma-free healthcare services.

Research is an important part of the work Alliance India undertakes in its fight against HIV/AIDS. It tries to generate data and evidence which supports strategic decisions on the response to the deadly disease. It also tries to contribute to the reservoir of national knowledge to encourage planned interventions and understanding of the main problems that are faced by the AIDS-affected community.

Due to their choice of work, lifestyle or gender the community of sex workers are usually stigmatised and marginalised. The Alliance provides services that are specific to the needs of this community. This programme attempts to increase the capacity of health workers and community service providers to reach out to a greater population in the community and provide healthcare and human rights services.

It provides counselling and social support, community-based testing or refers them to Government facilities, early detection in family members, tracking and follow-up on medical adherence, screening for the presence of TB, advanced disease management, linking to Government schemes and reducing the mortality related to HIV.
