Correct option is C
Sol. ICTC (Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre) is a dedicated facility under NACO where individuals receive pre-test and post-test HIV counseling and HIV testing services free of cost. These centers help in early detection of HIV, emotional support, and referral for ART. They are present in hospitals, PHCs, and CHCs.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Integrated Centre for Testing of Chronic diseases – No such official abbreviation exists; chronic diseases like diabetes/hypertension are not tested under ICTC.
· (b) Integrated Counseling and Training Centre – This is not the full form; training is not the primary function of ICTC.
· (c) Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre for HIV/AIDS – Correct answer. ICTCs help detect HIV status confidentially, promote awareness, and guide patients for further management.
· (d) Integrated Child Training Centre – Not related to health testing or HIV/AIDS; does not exist as part of any national health mission.
