Rohtak to Tackle AIDS Stigma with Mega Awareness Drive
Rohtak district is gearing up for a comprehensive month-long AIDS awareness campaign, commencing August 12. The initiative aims to combat the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS and promote early detection.
The campaign will incorporate a multi-pronged approach, including interactive sessions in schools, free HIV testing at designated centers, and informative seminars for the wider community. Competitions and awareness contests will also be organised to engage the youth.
Haryana state already provides crucial monthly financial assistance to those affected by HIV/AIDS. Free testing and treatment facilities are readily available across the state.
This proactive campaign underscores the state government’s commitment to prevention and the fight against the social stigma associated with the disease. The success of this initiative in Rohtak could serve as a model for other districts in Haryana and beyond, significantly impacting public health outcomes.
