Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART) Centre is functional at MKCG Medical College, Berhampur SCB Medical College, Cuttack,VSS Medical College, Burla and DHH,Koraput. Drugs for AIDS patients are available in the ART centre.
Apart from ART, drugs for Opportunistic Infections and condoms are available with the ART centres.
Four more ART centres would be functional in 2009 – at Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar,DHH, Balasore, DHH Anugul and DHH Bolangir.
It has been proposed that persons coming to the ART centres for antiretroviral treatment as well as CD4 testing would be reimbursed their travel costs, since it has been observed that a number of cases are lost to follow up due to lack of funds to travel to the ART centre. This reimbursement is being done through a partnership with Indian Red Cross Society.
