Red Ribbon express: AIDS awareness, an exhibition train, which travels across India. A project of the Indian government supported by UNICEF

A national campaign to create awareness and the issues of HIV/AIDS.

 

P. Sridevi (in a blue sari) worked in SHIP Positive Network PPPTCT + ve project as outreach worker. At present she is working as Family Case Manager in Bala Sahayoga project.

During 2006 to 2009 May in PPTCT +ve project she worked as ORW. When Red Ribbon express reached Guntur Station on May 1st, 2nd and 3rd of May, 2008 , Ms Sridevi took responsibility to provide information to the visitors who approach information box .She felt happy that she contributed in orienting people through information box towards prevention of epidemic.

That incident motivated her to involve more into similar kind of activities. She started follow up of pregnant women in referring them to ICTCs, if they found positive then continuous follow up till 9th month, counseling the spouse and ensuring their HIV test, use of condom, supporting them for institutional delivery, ensuring nevirapine prophylaxis etc.

Till now Ms Sridevi followed up 100 +ve mothers. As a Family Case Manager, now she is doing the follow up of families of positives. Orienting the HIV positives on Services available, encouraging them to access the services, ensuring the drop out children of positives to join the schools, supporting them to cope up with the stigma and discrimination through counseling the total family.

The strong reason behind her work for positives is .......She is positive and she feels that nobody should become positive like her..
