| Method / Issue: This is a prospective study begun in January 2012 and which is in progress. ? Our approach was to select in collaboration with health district managers, a local community organization with proven experience in the field of fight against HIV. ? We then proceeded to the training of members of these organizations to national modules linked to HIV community base care. These modules were focused on adherence to treatment, psychosocial support, the communication approach for prevention of STI/HIV, networking between associative organization and health facility. ? Activities package has been elaborated and provided with data collection tools. ? Finally, a payment of premium based on performance has been introduced. | ||||
