We hosted the THRIVE consortium, led by Clinton Health Access Initiative #CHAI in collaboration with #AfroCAB-Treatment Access Partners, to explore partnerships in addressing Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) in Kenya. The THRIVE consortium, an affiliate of #Unitaid, focuses on reducing mortality among people living with HIV by improving access to prevention, screening, and treatment, emphasizing local leadership and community-driven solutions.
Central to this effort is the STOP AHD package, guided by the Global AHD Toolkit. This package includes routine screening for opportunistic infections, the provision of prophylactic medications, rapid ART initiation, and strengthening community-based support systems.
Dr. Rose Wafula acknowledged the need for embracing collaborations in HIV Service delivery for universal health coverage.
This collaboration will enhance comprehensive care for individuals with AHD, improving survival and overall quality of life.
