?The government along with National Strategic Plan 2017-24 has launched Mission SAMPARK to trace those people who are left to follow up and are to be brought under Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) for treatment and suppression of AIDS.

• It was launched on World AIDS Day on December 01, 2017.
• Counsellors are tasked to ensure tracking of HIV positive patients through telephone and home visits in the case of those who drop out between diagnosis and treatment to maintain their adherence to treatment.
• The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare launched the National Strategic Plan 2017-24 aimed at eradicating HIV/AIDS by 2030.

90:90:90 Strategy: It is a new HIV treatment narrative of UNAIDS programme with targets –

1. 90% of all people living with HIV will know their HIV status,
2. 90% of all people with diagnosed HIV infection will receive sustained antiretroviral therapy and
3. 90% of all people receiving antiretroviral therapy will have viral suppression. In other words, it targets 90% diagnosis, 90% treatment and 90% suppression.
