Reaching out beyond the hills: HIV prevention among injecting drug users in Manipur, India

Addiction (1997)

Chingzaning Hangzo Anindya Chatterjee Swarup Sarkar Ginzamang T. Zomi B. C. Deb

Outreach interventions using ex-IDUs to inform and educate their peers about HIV/AIDS prevention measures have been found to be effective in the United States and other developed countries. While HIV/AIDS prevention programmes targeting IDUs have also been implemented in a number of developing countries, very little information is available on the process of implementation of these programmes. This paper attempts to document some of this knowledge by describing the implementation process of an outreach intervention targeting IDUs in a small town—Churachandpur—with high injection drug use and high HIV infection rates, in the north-eastern state of Manipur. The paper describes the barriers encountered in implementing the outreach and how these barriers were minimized. In conclusion, the paper makes the case for targeting outreach to the larger community before targeting the IDUs.
