Re: List of High Prevalence districts in India

[Guest guest]

Dear FORUM,

The total number of HIGH PREVALENCE districts, last stated by NACO is 168. This

listing is part of the planning process for NACP 3.

NACO has identified the various HIV/AIDS hotspots in the country for a more

concentrated effort in scaling up interventions in the Country.

The list of districts also includes the hotspots in various other states that

are not part of the existing six high prevalence states. This list is available

with NACO and the respective state SACS.
