We have taken many projects/ initiatives in partnership with Pakistan and Sindh AIDS control program and National TB control program. HANDS HIV/AIDS Program: HANDS is currently working on implementations of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis prevntion through community awareness interventions in 11 districts in Sindh, Punjab, KP and Balochistan. The interventions include the Communication strategy for behavior change (generalized and local specifics), community mobilization and awareness raising through education material, family and individual counseling by community based health workers. They material is comprised of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis B&C introduction, its sign and symptoms, its complications, common mode of transmission and prevention of transmision of diseases. HANDS has implemented three major HIV/AIDS specific projects in Sindh, and since then continued its advocacy and community mobilization program in all its community based health programs. i. School Education Program in Karachi With Collaboration of Baqai Medical University and UNAIDS Pakistan, HANDS implemented the project during the period of November 1997-April 1998. Through the project 120 teachers have been trained in conduction of awareness raising sessions regarding HIV/AIDS. Then subsequent 60 sessions were conducted in 55 schools of District East (mostly located in Gulshane-Iqbal and PECHS), in those sessions total 1460 students have participated.

ii. Research Study ------ State of Awareness Regarding HIV/AIDS among General Practitioners in District Sukkur, of Rural Sindh. The study was conducted by HANDS with support of Community Health Sciences Department, Baqai Medical University Karachi and Sindh AIDS control program. One of the study supervisor was the Director Sindh HIV/AIDS control program. The study was conducted in November- December 2000, in Sukkur district. BACKGROUND: Considering the fact that Pakistan is presently low prevalent but high-risk country regarding HIV/AIDS spread, and general population awareness is poor. No mass education and counseling program exists in the society especially rural areas. But 80% population is seeking medical advice/ care from general practitioners. These general practitioners can play vital role in educating people about high-risk behaviors in our society, which can otherwise lead to epidemic of HIV/AIDS in coming years. A cross sectional study was conducted in district Sukkur of rural Sindh, to assess the awareness among general practitioners regarding HIV/AIDS such as some basic information like modes of transmission, diagnosis, risk assessment, surveillance etc., to find out the areas of weakness. Then to suggest the health policy makers and planners, to develop the strategy to educate and facilitate these general practitioners and prepare them to be a major part of mass education program regarding HIV/AIDS. METHODOLOGY: Out of 220 general practitioners practicing in District Sukkur, 119 were randomly selected who were all qualified medical graduates, doing their practice at private clinics. The study was conducted through a questionnaire, which was filled by interviewing the general practitioners. RESULTS: 62% general practitioners correctly considered Pakistan as alow prevalent country where as only 16% correctly rated Pakistan as a high-risk country. 52% did not know breast feeding as a possible mode of transmission. While 34% had misconception about mosquito bite and 10% about social contacts as modes of transmission. 29% did not know the place and authority to whom the HIV/AIDS case should be notified. 69% did not know correctly the available facility for screening/diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. 52% did not know correctly where the screen blood for transfusion available. 74% did not know any tests for screening of HIV and 95% did not know any further diagnostic tests for AIDS. 30% did not know any associated finding of AIDS, while only 34% knew at least three associated findings of AIDS. CONCLUSION: To conclude the majority of general practitioners are not appropriately prepared to play their role in further prevention of HIV/AIDS epidemic in Pakistan. As evident by the fact that knowledge regarding many aspects from basic to practical was found much less than desirable. Integrating general practitioners in the health care delivery system and National AIDS control program through continuous training programs and follow up monitoring are recommended to update their knowledge.

iii. Adolescent Reproductive Health Project: HANDS in partnership with World Population Foundation implemented Adolescent Reproductive Health project in 35 target villages at Hala and Matiari region (then district Hyderabad), for the period of nine months from July 2001 to March 2002. Total 70 community mobilizers were trained regarding Reproductive and Adolescent Reproductive Health issues including HIV/AIDS. They were assigned to organize awareness raising sessions at their villages for parents separately for mothers & fathers, grandmothers & fathers, adolescent boys and girls, school teachers, and community health workers. Total 2520 awareness raising sessions were conducted during nine months, in which 35872 adolescent and their parents had participated. iv. HANDS Experience in Communication, Advocacy and Mobilization: HANDS has experience in developing the Community Advocacy Mobilization strategy (CAM) strategies for different components. HANDS has developed Behavior Change Communication strategy and Information communication material for promotion of awareness related to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Tuberculosis, Malaria, HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis b&c, birth spacing and RMNCH issues such as antenatal care and institutional deliveries and birth preparedness, promotion of Immunization. The information education material included the brochures, messages posters, counseling cards messages for relay on FM radio and other electronic media. The dissemination strategy for the promotional material includes the involvement of the communities through community health workers and trained social mobilizers. Our work involved advocacy with: Prominent religious leaders/ scholars Community influencers Media representatives Parliamentarians Elected local government representatives Policy makers at the district, provincial and national level Professional health associations and academic institutions These key players are instrumental in creating an enabling and supportive environment, either directly or through the influencers at the community level, to bring about behavior changes. The community engagement activities are designed to garner support of these groups in favor of recommended nutritional and dietary practices to improve maternal and child health and overall family well-being in the communities. At the community level, the health workers (LHWs or other community based workers such as HANDS Marvi workers) organized various community activities to sensitize, create excitement and publicity for promoting the practice of healthy diet and nutrition on special events such as the World Health Day, Breastfeeding Day and Mother s Day. Short commercials promoting the benefits of recommended dietary practices for adolescents, women and children, breast feeding, intake of supplements such as multiple micronutrients /

iron-folate, utilization of fortified food such as iodized salt will be shown at cinema halls and through local TV cable networks to reach a wider audience and reinforce the messages. Radio especially popular FM channels, are also used to mobilize support for the cause of improving maternal and child health through proper nutritional and dietary practices. 3.2 HANDS TB DOT Program: i. Project on Urban DOTS program for Karachi: In year 2006, The Pakistan and Provincial TB control program Sindh with Partnership of FIDELIS (Fund for Innovative DOTS Expansion through Local Initiatives to Stop TB) of France initiated a project to enhance comprehensiveness of Urban coverage.

To facilitate poor TB patients by reimbursing travel expenditure and giving incentives to them and treatment supporters to facilitate case detection and treatment completion. To undertake social mobilization campaigns in the project area. To field test the WHO concept of Stop TB Authorized Care Provider in the pursuance of these objectives prior to its replication in the other major cities of Pakistan.
