About TNSACS Condom policy

[Guest guest]

Has TNSACS given reasons why it proposes to stop free distribution of condoms?

Is it a costs/logistics factor or a policy decision?

In Calcutta, we have come across a response from a targetted group that

anything given free is not worth it. The condoms were ultimately not used. But

this is a limited example. By and large, free distribution helps in furthering

a goal, especially in the initial stage of a project, like you have mentioned.

The WBSACS distributes free condoms but to limited projects.

As regards shifting PLWAs to a TB sanitorium, this could be harmful, especially

if the shifted patient is negative to TB tests. I feel this is not advisable.
