Tamil
Nadu State AIDS Control
Society |
Major source of HIV
transmission in our country is through sexual intercourse and HIV is
primarily considered to be a sexually transmitted disease.
STDs are marker for high risk behaviour. Other STDs appear to serve
as an important risk factor which facilitate the transmission and
acquisition of HIV infection due to ulcers and inflammation of skin or
mucous membrances of the genitalia. The control of other STDS
contributes significantly to the reduction of HIV
infection.
Specialist treatment is
provided in all the STD clinics free of cost. In addition
HIV/AIDS cases are treated as in -patients in Government Hospitals of
Thoracic Medicine, Tambaram , Government General Hospital and also in
Medical College Hospitals for all opportunistic infections, free of
cost. Adequate funds are also released to the Director of Medical
Education and Director of Medical and Rural Health Services for supply of
medicine, equipment and other minor civil works,
etc.
In Government Hospital of
Thoracic Medicine, Tambaram, Siddha medicines along with other allopathic
medicine are also given to persons affected with HIV/AIDS on trial basis
which has showed slight improvement to the
patients.
A copy of the STD clinics
established/under establishment as on Mar,31, Is
