The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) Phase V primarily focuses on:
- A Universal HIV testing of the general population
- B Ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 using the 95-95-95 targets ✓
- C Providing antiretroviral therapy only to patients with CD4 count below 350
- D Mandatory partner notification for all newly diagnosed HIV patients
Correct answer: B. Ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 using the 95-95-95 targets
Explanation
NACP Phase V (2021–2026) aligns with UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets: 95% of people living with HIV know their status, 95% of those diagnosed receive ART, and 95% of those on ART achieve viral suppression — to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. India shifted to universal 'treat all' ART policy irrespective of CD4 count in 2017, making option C outdated. Mandatory partner notification is not part of the programme.
