1. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION & EMPHASIS AREA

This will be a continuation of the 2008 activity. New York University (NYU) will support treatment at the

Bomu Clinic and one satellite site in Mombasa, and will expand services to support PMTCT activities for the

pregnant women attending the Bomu clinic as well as the satellite site in Mombasa. In 2009 COP, the

program will support implementation of PMTCT activities and will target to reach 1,800 pregnant women

with HIV counseling and testing and facilitate CD4 count test as well as WHO clinical staging for all HIV +ve

women. Based on the results and National PMTCT guidelines on the use of ARVs in pregnancy, 36 HIV +ve

pregnant women with CD4 cell count < 350 or if in WHO stage II or II of HIV disease will be initiated on triple

ART, while 900 other HIV +ve women who do not meet this criteria will be given the combination

prophylaxis of single dose Nevirapine (sd NVP) and AZT starting 28 weeks of gestation. The minimum

prophylaxis of sd NVP will be given to 864 HIV+ve women presenting in late gestation for their 1st ANC

visit. This program also supports safe obstetric practices by facilitating delivery based activities. The

program will ensure that all women who come into labor and delivery with unknown HIV status will be

offered HIV counseling and testing and will administer the appropriate ARV prophylaxis. All the 100 HIV

exposed infants will receive the ARV prophylaxis as per the national guidelines and will have DBS taken at

6 weeks for Early Infant HIV diagnosis. All HIV exposed infants will be given Co-trimoxazole prophylaxis

starting at 6 weeks while all those with an HIV PCR test will be initiated on pediatric ART and follow up care.

Other care activities for the infants include growth monitoring, immunization as well as other services within

the Child Survival frame work. The mothers will receive follow up care that includes Cotrimoxazole

prophylaxis, counseling on correct and appropriate infant feeding practice, TB screening, post natal care

and linkage to Family planning services. The "Mother-to Mother "approach will be used to ensure

psychosocial networks and support for the mother both at the facility and community level. Primary

prevention within PMTCT setting will be addressed through encouraging couple HIV counseling and testing

and /or availing HIV testing and counseling to the male partners. The program will target to reach 200 men

with this intervention and will use the Men as Partners strategy to enhance this as well as to increase male

partner support and participation in PMTCT activities. Prevention with Positives (PwP) is another important

strategy that will be adopted to strengthen prevention. In implementation of these PMTCT activities, the

program will work in collaboration with the other HIV Care and Treatment and Pediatrics HIV Care services

in Bomu to ensure the HIV+ve women and their HIV exposed/infected infants receive a c complete package

of care. NYU has a long history of providing quality AIDS care in a variety of settings and over the past

several years has expanded capacity and expertise related to the provision of treatment in resource limited

settings like Africa. The AIDS Research and Family Care Clinic (ARFCC) was established in May 2001 and

provides a comprehensive range of free medical and psychosocial services to families living with HIV in and

around Mombasa. The clinic is served by a dedicated laboratory that offers HIV confirmatory testing, basic

hematology and chemistry tests, and CD4 counts. The program will strengthen the linkage between PMTCT

program and the ARFCC as well as the Laboratory services to ensure that all HIV +ve pregnant women and

their infants receive comprehensive HIV care services that include CD4 testing, baseline laboratory

investigations, access to HAART for all eligible pregnant women in line with the National PMTCT and ART

guidelines, Early Infant diagnosis for HIV exposed infants and linkage to treatment for all infants with a +ve

PCR HIV test, screening for TB for the women, HIV testing for the woman's partner and psychosocial

support and counseling. The women will also receive nutrition counseling for their own health as well as

counseling on correct infant feeding practices. Additionally the women and infants will receive the available

nutritional supplement. The Bomu Clinic uses a unique and elaborate referral and linkage system to ensure

patients receive care in the various service delivery points within the facility. This will be used to track and

ensure pregnant mothers receive the full package of care including safe delivery/skilled delivery attendance.

The Bomu clinic is a private clinic that provides general medical services to thousands of patients and has

recently expanded their capacity to provide specialized HIV services for adults and children. NYU has

supported development of a program that was providing treatment to over 2,000 patients by April 2008,

including 384 children. NYU brings particular expertise in pediatric treatment, and this site is expected to

rapidly expand treatment for children. A key barrier to expansion of the program at the moment is space.

NYU has received grant funding from other sources to establish an annex to the main clinic building that will

facilitate a significant expansion in pediatric treatment, and Emergency Plan funding will be used for

substantial renovations and refurbishment. This activity includes minor emphasis in commodity

procurement, community mobilization, development of networks/linkages/referral systems, human

resources, infrastructure, logistics, quality assurance and supportive supervision, strategic information,

targeted evaluation, and training.

2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA

These activities will contribute increased PMTCT program coverage by availing HIV testing and counseling

services to women and children attending the MCH and maternity units and providing the ARV prophylaxis

thereby contributing to prevention of pediatric HIV infections in the country. These activities will contribute to

the results of expansion of ART for clinically to the results of qualified HIV-positive patients, strengthened

human resource capacity to deliver adult and pediatric ART, tighten linkages between prevention, care, and

treatment activities, and strengthen referral networks for AIDS services..

4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

These activities link to non-ART services supported by NYU and FHI, referral to adult and pediatric HIV

services provided at Coast Provincial Hospital through FHI, a network center, and ART services coordinated

by and supported through the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP). There are also further

links to area VCT, PMI and community-based activities currently supported by FHI, advanced training in HIV

care supported through FHI, and network strengthening activities being implemented by the Kenya Pediatric

Association, a sub-partner of the Umbrella TBD.

5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED

These activities target people (adults, children, infants) living with HIV/AIDS. A key focus of the family clinic

is the provision of services to children with HIV, and the identification of children with HIV as a way of

reaching entire families that are affected by HIV. Treatment services for diagnosis and treatment of very

young children will be established through a relationship with Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI),

whereby filter paper samples are transported to the KEMRI lab for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) infant

testing. Public health care providers, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and laboratory workers are

Activity Narrative: targeted for increased HIV care and treatment knowledge and skills. Included among the populations

served by these services will be participants in U.S. government funded research programs.

This activity relates to activities in Adult care and support, Adult ARV services, PMTCT, pediatric care and

support, Pediatric ARV services.

2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

The Muangalizi component of the program will be enhanced to include post disclosure support to normalize

the experience of HIV in the family, with a focus on households looking after HIV positive children under the

Muangalizi model. The activity will also support the evaluation of the Muangalizi pilot in collaboration with

the other 4 USG supported and participating sites to facilitate lessons learnt and identification and

documentation of the effectiveness of different approaches to facilitate scale up. This activity was begun

with 2007 plus-up funds and is part of a five-site effort to strengthen the link between clinical and household

settings for HIV+ children. All sites meet regularly with a sixth entity, AED/Capable Partners, for real-time

sharing of lessons learned and review the effectiveness of different approaches in preparation for scale-up.

The Mwangalizi model is being tested in response to concern expressed by clinicians that assuring optimal

care for HIV+ OVC was difficult in many instance because they were accompanied to different clinic visits

by different relatives or community members, necessitating constant re-education of adults managing care

of children. Central to the approach is recruitment of adult patients who are successfully managing their

own care to accompany pediatric patients to all clinic visits when a consistent caregiver from the household

is not available. A total of 32 "accompagnateurs" will be trained to be on watch for 150 children for

development of side effects or complications, remunerated for their time, and expected to perform home

visits to monitor medication consumption. They will also be expected to develop an ongoing and supportive

relationship with the OVC household, assess the social environment and refer for needed services, and

seek wherever possible to identify a household or community contact who can be prepared to assume the

long-term responsibility of being a treatment advocate for the child. Sites were carefully selected to

represent a cross section of Nairobi and coastal urban slum (Eastern Deanery, Coptic, and Bomu), peri-

urban (AMPATH/Eldoret, Bomu) and rural (Kericho District Hospital) communities. Standard measures of

household and clinician satisfaction with the value-added by the accompagnateur, accompagnatuer

satisfaction with the experience, and clinical progress of OVC participating in the program will be tracked.

Numbers of OVC served are captured under care and treatment activities.

3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA

These activities will contribute to the results of expansion of ART for clinically qualified HIV-positive children,

and strengthen referral networks for AIDS services.

4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

These activities link to non-ART services supported by NYU and FHI, referral to pediatric HIV services

provided at Coast Provincial Hospital through FHI, a network center, and ART services coordinated by and

supported through the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP). There are also further links to

community-based activities currently supported by FHI, advanced training in HIV care supported through

FHI, and network strengthening activities being implemented by the Kenya Pediatric Association, a sub-

partner of the Umbrella TBD.

5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED

These activities target, children living with HIV/AIDS. A key focus of the family clinic is the provision of

services to children with HIV, and the identification of children with HIV as a way of reaching entire families

that are affected by HIV. Treatment services for diagnosis and treatment of very young children will be

established through a relationship with Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), whereby filter paper

samples are transported to the KEMRI lab for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) infant testing. Public health

care providers, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and laboratory workers are targeted for increased

HIV care and treatment knowledge and skills. Included among the populations served by these services will

be participants in U.S. government funded research programs.

6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED

This activity addresses legislative issues related to stigma and discrimination through community

sensitization activities.

7. EMPHASIS AREAS

This activity includes minor emphasis in community mobilization, development of networks/linkages/referral

systems, human resources, and training.
