The program will support the provision of comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and related-support services to HIV positive adults, children and their family members. These services will include antiretroviral therapy (ART); adherence counseling, TB screening and treatment; diagnosis and treatment of opportunistic infections (OI); basic preventive care package (BCP); prevention with positives (PWP) interventions; confidential HIV counseling and testing and psycho-social support.

Initiatives in FY07 will support clinical and related support services through an established network of urban and rural health facilities located throughout the country to ensure equitable access for treatment to an existing pool of 7,000 adults and pediatric patients. Comprehensive HIV support services will also be expanded to reach an additional 60,000 HIV positive individuals with prevention, care and treatment services as appropriate. A family-centered approach will be established, using the index HIV person to reach family members with confidential HIV counseling and testing, and care for those identified as HIV positive. All clients testing positive will receive a Basic Preventive Care package that includes: cotrimoxazole prophylaxis information; a safe water vessel and chlorine solution; long-lasting insecticide treated bednets; condoms as appropriate; educational materials; and prevention with positives counseling.

Following national ART treatment guidelines and services criteria, each health center will be staffed with fully trained HIV clinical and ancillary health care professionals and establish systems to monitor patients in care for ART eligibility and initiation. Those on ART will receive continuous adherence counseling and support services. Prevention with positive interventions will be an integral part of the services to reduce HIV transmission to sexual partners and unborn children, including specific interventions for discordant couples. Activities to integrate prevention messages into all care and treatment services will be developed for implementation by all staff. Depending on the location of each health center, service delivery models will be developed to provide easy access to all in need of services, including facility-based, community-based, and home-based approaches, as well as outreach activities to ensure full coverage for the targeted population.
