Training module: Access to HIV care and treatment for people who inject drugs

The training module was developed as a result of the workshop which was organised for CAHR partners in December 2014. This three days training module can be used to build capacity of service providers aiming to improve access to care and treatment for HIV positive people using drugs.

It aims to present participants with a theoretical basis and practical models of building effective programmes on access to care and treatment for PWIDs, using community-based outreach services for marginalized groups as a platform.

Objectives:

• To present modern approaches for organizing ART for PWIDs, including regimen selection, adherence support and case management
• To develop best models for an effective case management model, using NSP and outreach projects that meet the requirements of both national specifics and client needs
• To develop project plans with a specific focus on scaling up ART for project clients.
