Community Health & Nutrition
AID has taken a significant step in supporting access to HIV counseling and testing especially for children, adolescents and adults in urban and rural communities where access to such services is difficult.
Accessibility to HIV counseling and testing services enable them know their status and all those who test positive are referred to health facilities for care and treatment services. We make effective follow to the health facilities to ensure that all HIV positive clients referred for care are initiated and retained in care so as to have complete viral load suppression.
We also work with the health facilities to strengthen follow-ups for missed appointments, lost to follow clients and clients who have failed to achieve viral load suppression for effective care and support. We offer combined HIV prevention strategy by enabling the community access HIV prevention messages and services
Our prevention services and messages include;
Basic facts about HIV/AIDS
• Abstinence
• Be faithful
• Condom use
• Safe Male Circumcision
• Elimination of mothers to child transmission (EMTCT)
• HIV Counseling and Testing (HCT)
