HIV/AIDS and Other Health Programmes

We believe that our HIV/AIDS programs must provide information and services to vulnerable groups whilst addressing the underlying factors that lead people to make choices that put them at risk of infection. CARD’s HIV/AIDS programs will link with our other sectors, including health, education and economic development. Through our HIV/AIDS programs, we help communities, men, women and children orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS; develop peer education and outreach in communities; and increase access to services such as condoms, voluntary counselling and testing, anti-retroviral treatment, and STI prevention and treatment. Advocacy on behalf of vulnerable and marginalized populations is also an important part of our work. We also place additional emphasis on reducing stigma and work to ensure economic self sufficiency amongst PLWHAs.
