TIRUCHI: The Tamil Nadu AIDS Control Society has launched a live

Tiruchi, Coimbatore, Karaikal, Kodaikanal, Nagercoil, Pondicherry and

Tirunelveli stations of the All India Radio for 26 weeks. The

programme would be broadcast on all Tuesdays between 1 and 1.30 p.m.

and listeners could raise queries to be answered by experts in the

studio.

The programme would cover all aspects of HIV/AIDS and the focus would

be on prevention of mother-to-child transmission of the virus. The

programme would seek to dispel the myths and misconceptions about

HIV/AIDS and provide information on anti-retro viral therapy,

testing, blood safety and rehabilitation programmes.

The society would award prizes of radio sets to listeners who give

correct answers to questions asked at the end of every episode. At

the end of the series, listeners who give the maximum number of

correct answers would get a grand prize of free return tickets to
