Injecting Drug Use
Problem in Punjab, Haryana serious: Study


Chandigarh, January 19
Punjab and Haryana are going the Nagaland, Manipur way. At least that’s what the first-ever size estimation of injecting drug use (IDU) population in the two northern states and their capital Chandigarh has revealed.

The study, conducted by Society for Promotion of Youth and Masses (SPYM) in collaboration with UNAIDS and AIIMS had further shown that most of the injecting drug users in Punjab and Haryana were using pharmaceutical preparations often mixed with sedatives.

In an exclusive interview to The Tribune on the eve of all-India release of the study on January 21, Rajesh Kumar of SPYM said the situation in northern states was alarming.

“We have been saying for long that the problem in Punjab and Haryana is deep and serious. But we had nothing to support our claims. This study, for the first time, provides scientific proof of the problem and lists vulnerable groups and services available to them,” Kumar says.

Based on respondent driven sampling (RDS), a new methodology, the study relies on a vast sample - around 300 IDUs per district at the chosen sites in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) had long been saying that in India, IDUs account for 2.2 percent of HIV transmissions. But the SPYM study suggests that the numbers affected by injecting drug use may be higher.

“The idea behind the study was to fill the existing gaps in information available on IDUs in northern states. The culture of denial about the problem needs to be challenged. The problem in north is that the cross-border supply of illegal drugs was banned, but the demand for drugs had not been controlled. Resultantly, addicts had taken to “legal” drugs easily available on chemist shops. A greater danger was being posed by a new category of drugs called stimulants,” Kumar said.

Stimulants are more dangerous than depressants (pharmaceutical preparations) as their withdrawal is very serious.

“The incidence of dependence on stimulants is rising in India. This category of drugs is very dangerous because we yet don’t know much about them. Rehabilitation of stimulant dependents is also a challenge as strategies are not yet known,” Kumar said.

As for the IDU study in Punjab and Haryana, SPYM offered incentives to those who came for interviews.

“That was part of RDS. Peers, who induced addicts to come forward for interviews were given incentives in the form of T-shirts etc. Addicts, who turned up then became peers themselves and got “peer” incentives. They in turn urged other addicts to get sampled. The chain kept growing,” Kumar said, adding that SPYM used the services of Dr B.M. Tripathi and Dr Atul Ambekar from AIIMS to study health and behaviour related indicators pertaining to addicts.

To be released at a state-level function in Panjab University on January 21, the study is very significant in terms of its scope.

It profiles IDUs in Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh, lists the type of drugs they are using and why, maps their needle-sharing practices and HIV risk, studies their health-seeking behaviour besides pointing out deficiencies in rehabilitation services available to them. 30 NGOs partnered with SPYM in this project.

Pune which is known for its party culture & student folk is also witnessing ever increasing trends of drug abuse.

It's quite alarming to watch young kids either under sheer peer pressure or psuedo social liberation or pure fashion are taking to drugs of various types. Smoking cigarettes & weed is considered hip. If you dont you're not 'kewl'.

All this is having a compouding effect on general social aggression often culminating into crimes of various forms.

I personally never object to anyone's decision to smoke or use drugs or indulge into any sort of activity. I used to feel they have brains & should be capable of deciding for themselves.

What disturbs me are some of my recent encounters & observations with such ppl - The coming generations aren't very stong or healthy physically and quite safe to assume mentally too. Most of the kids I have seen personally are like... "Thappad mein dharashahi ho jayein, par nashe or style mein chaudhary pher bhi paakke hain "

Then, their reasoning causes further concern 'cuz I've come across so many of them who really do not know what they are doing or getting into. Some who do realise, aren't strong willed enough to do the right thing - quit.

A lot of peer pressure & psuedo sense of cultural transformation is gripping the country... and somewhat I personally dont feel very good about it.

Wonder how I could make a difference?

KAREPA AUR AIDS

Custom spells their doom
A family of four fell victim to AIDS after a widow followed the custom of marrying the younger brother of her husband who died of AIDS


Ludhiana, January 19
The custom of marrying a widow to the younger brother of the deceased has landed a family with AIDS.

For the family of Lalton Kalan village this custom has proved to be a disaster. Except for a 10-year-old boy and his grandparents, all four family members are infected with HIV.

The unfortunate couple and their children -- a two-year-old daughter and a five-year-old son -- feel they are doomed.

Harpreet Kaur (name changed) married a daily wage earner 12 years ago and gave birth to a boy, who is now 10 years old.

After four years of marriage, her husband died and they later learnt that he had died of AIDS.

After his death, Harpreet Kaur was married to his younger brother. She had two children from her second marriage.

They came to know about AIDS only when all four started suffering from a similar ailment. A doctor suggested them to get a blood test done, which confirmed they were HIV positive.

The case came to the notice of Jagjit Singh Mann, president of the Punjab Networking for Positive People. “Initially, I had a tough time convincing the family as the husband became a drug addict soon after he came to know that he was HIV+ and the family did not have enough money for the treatment. Moreover, they were reluctant to admit publicly that they were suffering from this disease.

“I told them that I could help them in getting free treatment only if they cooperated,” he said. He convinced them that they could still spend 10 to 15 years of healthy life if they regulated their diet and took timely medication.

“This is a glaring example of how customs and ignorance can further compound the AIDS crisis. It shows the inefficiency of the Punjab State AIDS Control Society as it has failed to provide proper treatment and encouragement to those affected,” Mann said.
