Awareness about “Health, Hygiene & HIV/AIDS” on World Health Day

Chandigarh, April 7th, 2016: The World Health Day is celebrated by the people
all across the world every year on 7th of April under the leadership of World Health
Organization to draw the mass people attention towards the importance of global
health. It is the day when people are encouraged to maintain their health and
awareness about health issues are created.
To mark this day awareness programmes were organized in Government Schools of Chandigarh by Chandigarh State AIDS Control Society in collaboration with NSS. An awareness lecture on “Health, Hygiene & HIV/AIDS” was delivered to 400 students of Jawahar Navodya Vidyala, Sector-25, Chandigarh by Mr. Sunil Kumar Panghal, Assistant Director- Youth Affairs, Chandigarh SACS. And awareness lecture to 300 students of Govt. Model Senior Secondary School, Sector-38 West was delivered by Dr. Jitender Dahiya, Assistant Director-SPM, Chandigarh SACS.
Dr. Vanita Gupta, Director Health Services U.T., Chandigarh cum-Project Director, Chandigarh State AIDS Control Society informed that Youth of the new era have to be targeted by creating awareness to prevent and make them healthy to make the world healthy and free from HIV/AIDS. Adolescents need accurate, culturally relevant, age-appropriate information about HIV transmission and infection. This includes how to talk with their parents or other trusted adults about HIV/AIDS, how to reduce or eliminate risk factors, how to talk with a potential partner about risk factors, where to get tested for HIV.
Comprehensive sexuality education is a key factor to reducing HIV among new generations. Despite the recent focus on abstinence and delaying sexual initiation, adolescents are still engaging in sexual behaviors. It is very important to give correct education about Health issues to adolescents in schools and colleges.

To address this issue Chandigarh State AIDS Control Society is continuously conducting various awareness programmes in Schools and Colleges to sensitize youth about HIV/AIDS Prevention.
