Programme Title
Institutional Care Home for orphan children infected and affected with HIV/AIDS
Description
In India many places with a high prevalence of HIV, efforts to provide care and support for AIDS orphans have been underway for many years. Although existing initiatives are encouraging, many of these are small scale and are struggling with the increasing number of children that require care mainly in high-prevalence states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana,Karnataka and Maharastra. In order to develop a comprehensive and sustainable response to children, DESIRE Society has been initiated a project which is committed to provide services of treatment, nutrition, shelter and education with moral support to Children Living with HIV/AIDS (CLHA). Now the organization is able to support up to 70 children under this project.

Programme Title
Supplementary Nutrition for Children Suffering with HIV/AIDS
Description
Since pediatric formulations were not available, majority of the children living with HIV/AIDS were not able to get proper nutrition and treatment. Another big concern for those working in the field of HIV/AIDS is to reach out to the large number of children who have not been tested and who could be potential carriers of the virus. Identifying children who are vulnerable to HIV infection and verifying their Status would therefore be a priority. Currently this project is able to support up to 600 children.
Core activities of the project:
Nutritional Support
Diagnosis of HIV infection in infants and children
Enumeration of CD4 Cells in children found to be HIV Positive
ART initiation for children needed treatment
Diagnosis and management of Opportunistic Infections
Psycho-social Support
