HIV Sentinel Surveillance Round is carried out annually across the country at ANC,
STD and HRG sites with standardized methodology as per NACO guidelines. HIV Sentinel
Surveillance is the most important tool to monitor HIV epidemic in the country.
Surveillance data are also used for estimating key epidemiological parameters, such
as HIV burden, new infections and deaths due to AIDS as well as important programme
parameters such as need for ART & PPTCT.
Surveillance is a vital component of Strategic Information that provides useful
inputs for setting up priorities, planning interventions, resource allocation and
evaluation of impact under the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP).
In Chandigarh HIV screening started in 1987 and sentinel surveillance for HIV started
in year 1993.
Eight sentinel sites are undertaking HIV sentinel surveillance in Chandigarh, one
Ante Natal Clinic (ANC) site, two Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) sites, three
Female Sex Workers (FSWs), one Intravenous Drug Users (IDUs) and one for Men Having
Sex With Men (MSMs).
