HLFPPT has commissioned the IHS
to conduct Behavioural Tracking Survey (BTS) as part of the BMGF
sponsored Avahan project that implements HIV prevention program
focusing on HRGs and their clients. The BTS is being conducted in
two coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh viz., Guntur and Srikakulam
covering 800 FSW and 400 MSM groups. BTS provides a unique
opportunity to measure the change in degree of community
mobilization among HRGs. The main purpose of BTS is to track
behaviour change in key populations over time and inform on the
community mobilization and advocacy efforts of Avahan. The
behavioural outcomes of interest are those related to sexual
practices, condom use, drug injecting practices, program exposure
and community mobilization and advocacy, which have a bearing on the
prevention of HIV and other STIs. The field work was completed. The
analysis and report preparation is expected to be completed by the
end of August, 2011.
