The objective of Avert Society is to develop sustainable approach to reduce transmission of HIV/AIDS among High Risk Group, vulnerable population and provide care and treatment services to people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in the targeted area of Maharashtra State.
The prevention of new infections in high risk groups is a major thrust in National AIDS Control Programme III. The most effective means of controlling the spread of HIV in India is through the implementation of Targeted Interventions (TIs) amongst persons most vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, such as female sex workers(FSWs), men who have sex with men(MSM) and transgender (TG) and injecting drug users (IDU). To meet the above objective Avert Society proposes to initiate targeted intervention program amongst Transgenders/Hijras in Thane district. Applications are invited from interested registered TG CBOs working in Thane District as follows.
