Health Sector Responses to HIV

Aim

The health sector plays a crucial part in the response to HIV and AIDS in terms of prevention and provision of services. In many cases it has also been affected by the epidemic, as many health workers are living with HIV. In this course, participants critically analyse existing services from the perspective of addressing the needs of vulnerable groups and communities, and examine the impact on the health system and formulate responses. Participants also examine the opportunities presented by HIV programmes to establish synergies and to strengthen the existing health system.
