"This report is primarily for state- and district-level policymakers and service providers working in the government and in nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) in India. The report aims to share fi ndings from an assessment carried out by PATH to explore how access to critical services for populations at risk of HIV and unintended pregnancy can be strengthened by converging HIV and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and the National Aids Control Programme (NACP). The report provides information on the demand and opportunities for and the challenges of implementing HIV and SRH convergence in four states—Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh."
