Statement: Despite several efforts, AIDS appears to be spreading rapidly in India. Courses of Action: I. Launch a sustained awareness drive to increase accurate knowledge about AIDS (transmission, prevention, testing, treatment). II. Actively discourage sexual promiscuity through targeted behaviour-change campaigns.

Introduction / Context:Epidemic control requires accurate information and risk-reducing behaviour. The statement notes rapid spread “despite efforts,” implying the need for broader, deeper interventions that correct myths and reduce high-risk practices.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Misconceptions and stigma impede prevention and early testing.
• High-risk sexual behaviour increases transmission probability.
• Public campaigns can shift knowledge and norms over time.

Concept / Approach:Combine information (what to do) and motivation/skills (how to do it). Awareness campaigns should emphasise condom use, regular testing, treatment-as-prevention, mother-to-child prevention, and needle safety; behaviour-change messaging should be culturally sensitive and non-stigmatising while discouraging risky practices.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Map high-incidence districts and key populations; tailor messages and channels (schools, workplaces, media).2) Ensure access: free condoms, testing camps, linkages to ART centres.3) Monitor impact through prevalence and testing uptake metrics; refine messages.

Verification / Alternative check:Education without behaviour-change tools underperforms; moral exhortation without facts can backfire. Their combination is standard public-health practice.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Only I/Only II/Either: partial measures reduce effectiveness. Neither: contradicts public-health evidence.

Common Pitfalls:Stigmatising messaging that deters testing; failing to ensure supplies and services where awareness is raised.

Final Answer:Both I and II follow.
