AIDS Control Foundation

“AIDS Control Foundation” is an NGO registered with Government Of India comprising of a team of highly qualified doctors, paramedics and social workers. It is based in Delhi with its Headquarters in the North-Western part of the city. It does not have any branches and all its programmes are monitored from Delhi. Though AIDS originated in the African Continent but the first few cases in India were detected in the Southern part of the country mainly in Tamil Nadu. Early cases of AIDS were also found in Manipur. There after it became rampant and started spreading across the country. Government Of India instituted agencies to control this deadly disease but they mainly worked amongst the lower strata of society. It was at this stage that Dr.R.K.Verma [Founder/President of AIDS Control Foundation] came forward with the idea to establish “AIDS Control Foundation” to create awareness about HIV/AIDS among the educated section of the people. Along with a team of dedicated doctors and medical volunteers he carried out a relentless campaign making people aware of this disease. Thus the organisation, namely, AIDS Control Foundation creates awareness about HIV/AIDS with the support of various Government Departments by technically equipping the people by means of seminars, workshops, health camps, rallies and film shows in Government Offices and Public Sector Organisations and also at public places like markets, Commercial Complexes, Schools, Colleges, Banks, jails and even in red-light areas.
