AbstractFor containing AIDS in the country, Government of India (GOI) approved National AIDS Control Project (NACP) with assistance from the World Bank. The first phase of the project was implemented during September 1992 to September 1997 as a cent per cent Centrally Sponsored Scheme and was later extended upto 31 March 1999. A performance review of the project appeared in the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India – Government of Tamil Nadu (Civil) – for the fiscal 1995-96 (Para 6.8). This performance audit of the implementation of National AIDS Control Programme in Tamil Nadu state covers the period 1998-99 to 2002-03. The performance audit revealed that incidence of the HIV infection was very high in the State and the number of AIDS cases is increasing. Despite incurring huge expenditure on the main components of blood safety measures and standardisation of blood banks, no proper evaluation was done to streamline the system. The sentinel surveillance conducted in the State revealed that the high risk groups of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) clinic attendees and Intravenous Drug Users (IVDU) continued to be vulnerable with higher percentage of HIV prevalence; funds available for targeted interventions among high risk groups were only partly utilised and so several HIV cases remained undetected. The coverage of population under Family Health Awareness Campaigns was low. Poor attendance in Voluntary Testing and Counselling Centres revealed that the message had not reached the public. The above deficiencies must be viewed from the angle that people carrying AIDS could spread the infection to others resulting in more number of AIDS cases.
