Supportive Care for people living with HIV/AIDS
2016
Once people who are HIV-infected start on treatment, they must stay on it for life. Treatment has 2 main benefits: 1) improves the health of the person living with HIV; 2) prevents transmission of the virus to others. HIV treatment for all PLWH means that the core of caring for them is supportive care while they are on ART. This Community Health Evangelism (CHE) HIV/AIDS training module trains Community Health Evangelists (CHEs) to provide supportive care for PLWH on ART. CHEs serve as Christian volunteer Community Health Workers (CHWs).
