A two-month HIV/AIDS awareness campaign will begin across Annamayya district from August 12, marking International Youth Day. District AIDS Control Officer Dr G. Radhika said the drive will target high-risk villages, educational institution zones, and other vulnerable locations, with officials from line departments and NGOs working in coordination. The action plan was finalised during a monthly review meeting. Ahead of the campaign, work schedules of Integrated Testing and Counselling Centre counsellors, ART centres, and NGOs have been reviewed. Officials have been directed to ensure uninterrupted HIV testing, counselling, and medicine supply. Dr Radhika also urged private hospitals to follow government guidelines, especially for timely HIV testing of pregnant women.
