- 7. HIV/AIDS Prevention - APAC/VHS Initiative • Understanding APAC/VHS scope document – with specific reference to TN • Profiling the most vulnerable groups • Communication Strategy • Creative Execution
- 8. Our understanding of the scenario • Number of Indians living with HIV increased by 500,000 in 2003 to 5.1 million. • Around 38 % of these people were women. (NACO estimate) • Total AIDS cases reported in India were 87,596 of whom 24,504 were women. And 37% of reported AIDS cases were diagnosed among people under 30. (November 2004, NACO)
- 9. Our understanding… ( Contd.) • India's adult HIV prevalence will peak at 1.9% in 2019. • During 2000-15, the UN projects 12.3 million AIDS deaths and 49.5 million deaths during 2015-50 making India the largest infected country in the world. • New infections rising in women from ages of 15 to 49 accounts for nearly 40% of the total number of estimated cases • The prevalence rates among women attending ante-natal clinics over 1%
- 10. Our understanding… ( Contd.) • Heterosexual transmission is the main mode of transmission • HIV infections in India have moved from “vulnerable groups” (truckers, CSWs, migrant laborers) to the “general population”. (Cause for alarm) • In TN and Maharashtra, the spread of HIV among CSW show an increase from 1 to 3% in the late 80s to 45% in the early 90s and estimated to be over 50 to 60% today!
- 11. Vulnerable group - 1 The Commercial Sex Worker (CSW) • An estimated 2.3 to 8 million CSWs in India. • Most CSWs earn an average of less than Rs. 100 a day • And therefore extreme poverty is an overriding factor • Kannamma, aged 23 with a two-year-old infant is a sex worker in Salem. • Dealing with cops brandishing lathis and pimps who haggle with her earnings, it is difficult for her to just survive and make do with bare essentials.
- 12. Commercial Sex Workers • Sex workers remain disproportionately affected with prevalence rates ranging from 40 to 60 per cent in some parts of the country. • Sex workers insist on the usage of condoms intermittently and hope for the best in avoiding the infection. • Safe sex is compromised by coerced sex with criminals, drunks, and police.
- 13. Sexual Behavioral Patterns • Awareness of HIV/AIDS is almost universal with more than 90% of sex workers having heard of AIDS. • Knowledge of transmission and prevention methods ranging from 80 to 90%.
- 14. Sex workers and their issues • Inaccessible services to public services like ration, gas, etc. • Seek treatment for their ailments through quacks and neighborhood clinics. • Public sector facilities though free perceived as poor quality and discriminatory • Apathy in government health services and private sector are refusing HIV positive patients. • Most of PHS are understaffed, ill equipped and insensitive.
- 15. Sex workers and their issues (Contd.) • Access to condoms: Sex workers mostly rely on clients or purchase them from chemists. • Free condoms from government and donors are declining and cost of condoms are inhibitive to usage as compared to what they earn.
- 16. Sex workers and their issues (Contd.) • Prostitution and law: According to immoral trafficking prevention act of 1986, prostitution per se is not criminal but the procurement of workers and establishment of brothels are. • Law frequently misused by the cops. • Police raids on prostitution often involve manhandling, beating, sexual coercion and extortion of sex workers. • Over 70% of sex workers had been beaten by the police and more than 80% arrested without evidence.
- 17. Specifics in Tamil Nadu • In Salem and Namakkal districts (the trucking capital in TN), most sex workers are highway based. • Majority have some schooling, are married, have children and either living with or separated from their husbands. Household debt, abandonment by husband and responsibility for children are the main reasons that many enter the profession
- 18. Specifics in Tamil Nadu (Contd.) • In TN, condom use with regular partners (40%) is lower than paid clients (90%) • The problem lies in the struggle they face in convincing their regular partners to use condoms. • Many rationalize that trust, desire for companionship and children make it difficult for them to insist on condom use with their regular partners. • Sex workers demand condom use with random clients while they have less power to negotiate safe sex with their regular partners.
- 19. Vulnerable group – 2 - Truckers • India has an estimated 2 to 5 million long distance truck drivers and helpers • A study published in 1999 showed that 87% of the drivers had frequent and indiscriminate change of sexual partners, and only 11% of them used condoms although their knowledge of AIDS was fairly high. • Selva, 31, is a truck driver from Madurai. Married with two children, sees family once in three months • Driving for over 12 hours a day, eating at roadside stalls, he does frequent sex workers when he is lonely and wants to fulfill his sexual urges
- 20. Sexual Behavioural Patterns • Awareness of HIV / AIDS is fairly high. • But there has been a very low behavioral shift, which could be attributed to circumstances like unavailability of condoms, sex during a drunken state or just mental frame of mind.
- 21. The General population Potentially the third vulnerable group: • Teenagers in Urban areas • Rural Youth • Homosexuals
- 22. Sexual behavior patterns • Sex is first thing on mind as a teenager – protected or unprotected as the circumstance may force him / her to be. • Media has great influence on their sexual libido and to be “sexy” is top of mind. • Rural youth has very limited exposure to knowledge and repercussions and accessibility to condoms • Homosexuality is on the rise and it is highly difficult to reach them as a niche.
- 23. NGOs and hiccups • Problem in identifying sex workers because many are “flying sex workers” (so targeted intervention is a problem). Especially in TN, prostitution is not brothel based. • Poor, ineffective, and discriminatory service delivery in the context of creating a demand for STI services through IEC, STI, and condom promotion. • Public health infrastructure needs a lot of beefing up
- 24. Issues • The vulnerable groups have awareness of HIV / AIDS but are not threatened – therefore not reacting • The General population is aware, reacting too in certain circumstances, but not always and are therefore exposed to unsafe sex at times.
- 25. Key Take Awareness -> Knowledge -> Risk Perception has not led to Behavioral Change
- 26. Communication task The communication must focus on: The factor of the severity of the epidemic to ensure ACTION than just knowledge.
- 27. Thompson Total Branding Tool
- 28. Whom do I appeal to most – Who am I talking to? • To people of whom the fear of repercussions does not inhibit the choice of sexual partners
- 29. Why will they find me appealing – why would they listen to me? • Because without judgment I accept their need to behave the way they do
- 30. How am I different? • I make society accept “carrying condoms” as the smarter thing to do • I elevate masturbation into a fun and macho thing.
- 31. What relationship will I have with him / her? • I am their “Common Sense” – Nothing I say, you don’t know anyways
- 32. What is my personality? • I am like my audience – Vikram – Rani Mukherjee – Tom Hanks • I am not preaching. I am an opinion leader and I do not pass judgments.
- 33. How do I express myself? • Simple • Colloquial • Rustic and earthy • Non-verbal • Metaphoric
