HIV AWARENESS PROJECT

HIV prevalence rates on the rise

As HIV prevalence rates continue to rise among younger individuals, particularly teen mothers, we have decided to contribute to the health sector’s efforts in spreading the message that HIV is preventable. Our HIV/AIDS prevention program aligns with the UNAIDS Global AIDS Strategy 2021-2026 – End Inequalities, End AIDS. Global AIDS Strategy 2021-2026 – End Inequalities. End AIDS. is a bold new approach to using an inequalities lens to close the gaps preventing progress toward ending AIDS.

End AIDS. is a bold new approach to using an inequalities lens to close the gaps preventing progress toward ending AIDS.

The Global AIDS Strategy aims to reduce these inequalities that drive the AIDS epidemic and prioritize people not yet accessing life-saving HIV services. The Strategy sets out evidence-based priority actions and bold targets to get every country and every community on track to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.. 95% of people living with HIV will have known their HIV status by 2026; 95% of people knowing their HIV status will get treatment; lab tests of 95% of people on HIV treatment will not detect the virus, and the 90-90-90 treatment targets aim to close the testing gap and providing to people living with HIV treatment who are still not accessing it.

Hiv Counselling

In areas where access to HIV counseling and testing services is inaccessible, our community health volunteer teams actively provide access to such services for children, adolescents, and adults in urban and rural communities. Accessibility to HIV counseling and testing services enables them to know their status, and all who test positive are referred to health facilities for care and treatment services. We make effective follow-ups to the health facilities to ensure that all HIV-positive young girls or women referred for care are initiated and retained in care to have complete viral load suppression.

Outreaches in partnership with health personne

Our positive living group also helps us during the outreaches in partnership with health personnel. Young women especially need to know that they can take positive charge of their bodies and life decisions.
