PPTCT Project

JCSS is working with IL&FS for PPTCT Programme since 2012 with the objective to stop transmission of HIV/AIDS from parents to child.

The field staffs search positive pregnant women and counsel them about testing and motivate and accompany them to PPTCT/ICTC/ART Centre, often with the help of AWW/ASHA, so that they can live healthy life.

• Total 80 PNCs was followed up and out of them 50 were old PNCs which were followed up.
• A total of 1,568 referrals were done and 1,034 women were tested.

Nevrapine was given to five children and DBS is being given to 18 children at primary level and to 12 children at secondary level.
