This paper explores the pertinent challenges of Government’s HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment program in India. Study is mainly based on observations made during field visits, discussion during review meetings at various levels and during training programmes of various functionaries from April 2007-November 2009. The paper also takes into account the observations made on the conclusion of the Mid-term Review conducted by the Government of India in during July- December 2009 after completion of first 2.5 years of the 5-year plan of NACP-III. Additionally, interactions with key program managers involved in implementation and management of HIV/AIDS Program at the state, district and facility levels. Though numerous efforts have been made and continued by the Government and partners, HIV prevention, care and treatment services have not been able to reach to the most-at-risk population, specifically in the rural population. Socio-cultural and managerial issues are the key challenges reported by the most of the key implementers. There is an urgent need to address and strengthen the whole spectrum of health systems through a collaborative approach to achieve the millennium development goals of universal access to prevention, care and treatment services in India.

The study was conducted in Vallancherry a selected rural village of Kattankulathur . The sample size for the present study was 300. Three point rating scale  was used to assess the HIV/STIGMA and discrimination.The present study findings revealed that among 300 samples none of them reported severe stigma ,50 (16.7%)  participants reported moderate stigma and 250 (83.3%)  participants reported  low stigma. Stigma blocks access to HIV testing and treatment services, making onwards transmission more likely. The removal of barriers to these services is key to end the global HIV epidemic.Key Words : HIV, AIDS, Stigma, Discrimination, Rejection
