Description: The purpose of this program is to ensure that a comprehensive continuum of HIV/AIDS services, which includes sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) services, is available in Kinshasa and other major cities in Province Orientale and Katanga Province in order to contribute to the successful control of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Continuum of care services include: 1) prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT); 2) post-birth monitoring and care of HIV-positive (HIV+) women and their newborns of yet-to-be-determined status; 3) TB/HIV services (TB infection control, screening of HIV among TB patients, provision of HIV care and anti-retroviral therapy to co-infected patients and intensified TB case finding and treatment among HIV+ patients); 4) family-based HIV treatment services (diagnosis, care, antiretroviral (ARV) and psychosocial support); and 5) all laboratory services necessary for disease screening and monitoring. All continuum of care services should include screening, counseling and referrals for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Facility-based services should also provide relevant clinical services for survivors.
