HIV/AIDS PREVENTION and SUPPORT

Nsanja and the neighbouring communities have been greatly affected by HIV/AIDS. Hundreds of family breadwinners and mothers have lost their lives due HIV related death. Those who have tested positive become helpless and need support from families and the community. Through our well-organised programs and with involvement of both local and international volunteers, CODEAPS has registered success in reaching out to these People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

CODEAPS administers HIV testing which is performed in conjunction with counseling. Counseling is available to all CODEAPS clients and families at anytime. Members of Village Health Teams (VHTs) are trained in counseling and health care to aid the HIV+ clients and their families. There is at least one VHT member in each town where CODEAPS clients live.

Besides counseling, CODEAPS also provides material and financial to clients and their families. We provide financial support for clients to be able to travel to health care providers and to purchase medicines such as ARVs. CODEAPS provides material support through food or other essential supplies.
