The district achieved 100 per cent of the National AIDS Control Organisation 95-95-95 targets, according to the Chief Minister's Office.
Dibrugarh has become the first Surakshit District in Assam after reaching 100 per cent of its HIV control targets, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said on Sunday.
According to ThePrint, the CMO stated in a social media post that the district met the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) 95-95-95 targets.
The 95-95-95 targets set by NACO require that 95 per cent of people living with HIV are aware of their status, 95 per cent of diagnosed individuals receive sustained antiretroviral treatment, and 95 per cent of those undergoing treatment reach viral suppression.
This achievement places Dibrugarh in the lead for HIV epidemic control by 2027.
