Shimla The campaign against HIV AIDS in the state is directed towards creating awareness about the disease and to achieve it, many special purpose schemes are set to be rolled out on World AIDS day. A special purpose IEC (Information Education Communication) van is likely to be launched on Monday in Himachal. It would be one of the first such initiatives of the country where counseling infrastructure would itself travel up to the doorstep of people in villages.

A toll-free number through which people can reach special services centres for information on HIV AIDS and of 176 red ribbon clubs through Nehru Yuva Kendras would be launched on December 1.

Director Health Services Dr Sulakshana Puri said CM Prem Kumar Dhumal would flag off the IEC van from Sarkaghat.
