THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROGRAM
To Create awareness among the general public about the transmission of AIDS through the sexual mode - as it contributes to more than 80% of HIV/AIDS infection-to minimize the number of AIDS Orphans to a greater level. |

India has experienced a frightening increase in the rate of HIV infection, stands first at the global level in spread of HIV/AIDS. Today, India, a country with a population of more than one billion, has an overall infection rate of about 1%. This translates to 10 million people infected. Tamil Nadu state has the second highest infection ratio in India. Tiruvannamalai is one of the most AIDS/HIV infected District of Tamilnadu.
The reason for the spread of AIDS is mainly due to ignorance of the people as to the cause, transmission routes, and methods of prevention. And too, the poverty in rural villages has caused an increasing daily migration of people to the cities seeking work, and that work is often high risk for AIDS. Therefore, the spread of AIDS is likely to continue if no adequate measures are taken.
Comprehensive AIDS awareness campaign is vigorously made by local highly motivated voluntary health workers through sustained and targeted interventions among the public at large and more specifically among individuals/youth/groups who are susceptible to high risk behavior. Youth population is the main focus of this project. Counselling and Rehabilitation measures are taken to the people living with HIV/AIDS.
The results of the above efforts are reflected in the positive changes in the behavioral pattern of the public, especially high risk groups like Sex workers, Auto and truck drivers and masons etc.,. About one million people were motivated by GOSONngo through the above Anti AIDS program till now.
World AIDS day is observed to call the attention of the Global community to the gargantuan proportions that AIDS is assuming.
