RAPID TESTING PROGRAM (RPT) FOR HIV/AIDS (2012 TO 2020)

In partnership with India Cares and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), SPID led impactful community awareness campaigns centered around HIV/AIDS screening using RTF Rapid Testing programs. The initiative reached key areas such as Delhi, Agra, Chandauli, Mathura, and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. SPID offered comprehensive support, including pre-and post-test counseling, helping individuals access essential care services, and following up with those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Beyond direct services, SPID championed advocacy efforts and built strong community networks, ensuring that patients were connected to vital resources like Integrated Counseling and Testing Centers (ICTC) and Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Centers, particularly in Delhi and Varanasi.
