Under NACP Phase V, 'Targeted Interventions' (TIs) are designed for 'key populations'. Which of the following correctly lists the key populations under NACP?
- A Migrant workers, truckers, factory workers, street children
- B Female sex workers, men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender persons ✓
- C Pregnant women, children under 5, adolescent girls, elderly
- D Healthcare workers, blood donors, prison inmates, military personnel
Correct answer: B. Female sex workers, men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender persons
Explanation
NACP defines key populations as FSW, MSM, PWID, and transgender persons, who receive Targeted Interventions. Migrants and truckers are 'bridge populations', not key populations. Pregnant women and children fall under prevention of parent-to-child transmission, not TIs.
