HIV
Breakthrough ACTION provides HIV prevention and testing services through community workers and peer navigators as well as partners with governments to improve HIV social and behavior change activities.
The project has reached over 20,000 individuals aged 15 and above across 16 PEPFAR health districts through workshops for peer navigators, coordinators, and monitoring officers from local nongovernmental organization partners. These initiatives stress the importance of HIV status awareness, treatment readiness, and preventive behaviors. Through proactive HIV testing efforts, Breakthrough ACTION has reached over 10,000 individuals and identified hundreds of people living with HIV. Additionally, the distribution of self-test kits to high-risk clients supports prevention efforts and the project’s meticulous tracking of missed appointments and provision of antiretrovirals significantly improved retention. Breakthrough ACTION’s technical assistance to PEFAR DREAMS partners in promoting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among key populations, including adolescent girls and young women, bolstered demand for PrEP, ensuring a comprehensive approach to HIV prevention.
