GETTING TO ZERO
The world witnessed one more World AIDS Day. The slogans of getting to zero were heard everywhere. Many children were born, and tested negative, to HIV positive mothers. Yet a valid question remains, are we heading towards a real zero? Majority of HIV cases detected in private health care settings still go unnoticed! Who is answerable? It is you and me who need to give an answer for this. Every positive person counts. Missing a person from the scenario will leave a hole in the umbrella. Every pregnant woman and their spouse need to be screened and all HIV cases should be enrolled and treated to achieve the goal of zero percentage of HIV transmission. We cannot afford even a single failure as it may hamper all our efforts. Therefore, it becomes mandatory for us to make sure that every woman screened for HIV should give birth to a healthy baby free of the malignant infection.

With this vision of making AIDS-free India a reality, The Global Fund has introduced New Funding Model that will allow it to invest as effectively as possible so that partners can reach people affected by the diseases. The New Funding Model has been designed to have predictable funding, to reward ambitious vision to work on more flexible timings and with a smoother and shorter process that ensures a higher success rate of applications. It is important that the model be developed through a process which includes all stakeholders but especially key affected population. As we observe one more World AIDS Day, let us revisit our commitment and look forward to making our country AIDS free and thus ensure a healthier future generation. . States Coverage From the Fields
