The ICTC : An Iegrated Counselling and testing center is a place where a person is councelled and tested for HIV on his own free will, or or as advised by a medical provider.  The main function of an ICTC include:

1. Early detection od HIV.

2. Provision of basic information on modes of transmission and prevention of HIV / AIDS for promoriing behaviour change  and redicing vulnerability.

3.  Link people with other HIV prevention, care and treatment services.  

*In Mursan it means in practical that it is counselling on all levels, not only for HIV, but all sort, tuberculosis, in pregnacy etc.

We have two HIV Counsellors, one female and one male. See in the "Our People folder".

Testing are done at all times, and therefore we also have well trained laboratory staff.

Otherwise we have about 70 HIV+ patients coming regularly for  treatment and counselling, and this means a lot for these people, that they can come here for help etc. The Support group for the HIV+ patients are an important activity. Read about that also.

We have a close and good cooperation with the local government, and we get regularly poster, medicines and testing material from Uttar Pradeh AIDS Society in Lucknow.
