Under NACP, the targeted intervention strategy for key populations includes all of the following EXCEPT:
- A Needle-syringe exchange for PWID
- B Opioid substitution therapy for PWID
- C Universal HIV testing for all pregnant women ✓
- D Condom promotion for FSW
Correct answer: C. Universal HIV testing for all pregnant women
Explanation
Universal HIV testing for pregnant women is part of the Prevention of Parent-to-Child Transmission programme, not a targeted intervention. Targeted interventions specifically focus on key populations such as FSW, MSM, PWID, migrants, and truckers with community-led services. Needle-syringe exchange and opioid substitution are core components of the PWID targeted intervention package.
