HIV Prevention
LVCT Health provides comprehensive HIV combination prevention interventions to target communities across the counties in which we operate. Our population includes adolescents and young people, fisherfolk, survivors of gender-based violence, and prisoners. We ensure that HIV-positive individuals are linked to care and initiated on treatment to achieve viral suppression and reduce the transmission of HIV.
Our Strategic Focus
- Leadership in HIV Testing Services (HTS): We support the National and County governments to develop, pilot and scale up effective strategies to identify and link people diagnosed with HIV infection to care and treatment.
- Integrated approach into existing healthcare service: We promote integration of HTS within all service delivery points at community and facility level.
- Implement Innovative HIV prevention interventions and technologies: LVCT Health advocates for and promotes flexible and innovative HIV prevention methods/technologies to suit the needs of individuals and populations.
