A Situational Assessment of Children Living with HIV and AIDS in Bangalore
Christy Abraham Research Institute of Asian Women Sookmyung Women' 2005 Asian Women Vol.21 No.-
In its efforts to combat the HIV and AIDS epidemic in India, the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) in line with Government's efforts has developed an integrated work plan on combating the disease. NACO and the State AIDS Control Societies' primary activity targeting children has been prevention of mother-to-child transmission, which involves administering a short course of antiretroviral drugs to mother and newborn that greatly reduces the risk of HIV transmission during pregnancy and child birth. The most vulnerable group of the population, the HIV positive children and children who are now orphans due to the death of one or both of their parents from AIDS, have received little attention both in terms of practical programs and in sector plans. This is much so because the number of AIDS orphans in the country is not known let alone their living conditions and their needs as other children. This paper assesses the situation of 100 children who are living with HIV and AIDS and who are now orphans due to the death of one or both of their parents from AIDS and the concerns and challeges of positive mothers in Bangalore, India. While 63 children live with their families 36 positive children live in one of the Positive Children's Homes in Bangalore. Out of the 64 positive children, 30 children are paternal orphans, three children are maternal orphans, and nine children are double orphans. Thirteen children are living with their positive parents and the double orphans live with their extended families. The information was gathered in individual therapy sessions, group discussions, and family support sessions with positive children and widows. Out of the 36 Positive Children in the institution, 26 are double orphans and 10 children are either maternal orphans or paternal orphans. The paper also gives an insight on how a Family Support Network, MILANA in Bangalore, India, is addressing and coping with the varied issues and problems faced by orphans and their families. The assessment suggests the need to map out the children orphaned by AIDS, so as to get reliable data on the total number of children orphaned by AIDS, and to frame policies for children orphaned by AIDS, taking into consideration not only the educational, health, and nutritional aspects but also the psycho social and economic aspects.
