The SAHYOG clinic model comprises of two key units: Clinic and Counselling Unit. Operating as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the Mumbai Districts Aids Control Society (MDACS) and The Humsafar Trust (HST), it offers services at a nominal fee of Rs. 1000/- per year, providing the following comprehensive services:
1. HIV and Syphilis Testing: The clinic conducts HIV and Syphilis testing for clients referred by Targeted Interventions (TIs) as well as walk-in clients. The process involves Pre-test counselling, where the Counsellor gathers detailed case history, particularly focusing on understanding the sexual history of the client. Subsequently, the client is directed to the laboratory for a blood sample collection, and the reports are ready by evening. Post-test counselling is conducted by the counsellor, who explains the reports and guides the client by connecting them to appropriate care centres based on the results. Client confidentiality is strictly maintained throughout the process, and the reports are handed over exclusively to the client.
2. Mental Health Counselling: the clinic is staffed with a qualified psychologist who offers mental health counselling to walk-in clients. A wide range of issues are tackled, including coming out, acceptance, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, suicidal ideation, and Sex-reassignment surgery concerns. Additionally, we provide counselling services via phone for added accessibility.
3. Doctor's Services: Based on location specific clinic timings, Monday to Friday, clients have access to regular medical check-ups, and certain medicines are provided free of cost.
4. Nutrition Counselling: According to the location specific clinic timings, a Nutritionist is available for in-person counselling. Nutrition counselling services are also offered over a phone.
5. Legal Aid: The Humsafar Trust advocacy team refer to LGBTQ+ friendly lawyers within the organisational network for any legal assistance required.
For appointments, counselling, or speaking with Counsellors and Doctors, a helpline is available.
Note: for HIV/Syphilis testing or collecting test reports, it is essential to visit the clinic no later than 7:30 PM. Quality care and support is offered while maintaining utmost confidentiality for all clients.
Currently, the public-private partnership clinic models operate across four locations: Nagpur, Mumbai, Delhi, and Guwahati. The Mumbai clinic serves as the model and benchmark for the other clinics.
