India's NACP Phase V is aligned with UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets. The SECOND '95' refers to:
- A 95% of all PLHIV knowing their HIV status
- B 95% of PLHIV on ART achieving viral suppression
- C 95% of diagnosed PLHIV being on sustained ART ✓
- D 95% reduction in new HIV infections by 2030
Correct answer: C. 95% of diagnosed PLHIV being on sustained ART
Explanation
The three UNAIDS 95-95-95 cascades are: (1) 95% of all PLHIV know their status; (2) 95% of those diagnosed are on sustained antiretroviral therapy; (3) 95% of those on ART achieve viral suppression (<1000 copies/mL). India's NACP-V adopted this framework targeting 2030. Reaching all three goals simultaneously would reduce HIV transmission to negligible levels and effectively end AIDS as a public health threat.
