MSM Home Based Care Peer Education Care Home Clinic Services Training, Education and  Community Involvement Advocacy, Section 377 Goal   Home Based Care Due to the fear and stigma attached to HIV, providing and ensuring care and support to People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) presents a big challenge. Fear and misconceptions about HIV often deter families and communities from providing care and support to PLWHA, consequently, the need arose to create an enabling environment in their communities. The Home Based Care Program, which began in 2001, was set up to address the need for services and support to families with one or more member living with HIV. We wanted to ensure that families and caregivers have the capacity to respond adequately to the specific needs of the HIV infection. The program reaches out to families with medical and nursing care, psychosocial support, legal assistance, and capacity-building. This program also supports clients with small loans and business opportunities to help them find steady employment. Under the Naz Home Based Care Program: Counselors visit clients at home to provide counseling and support If needed a nurse/doctor visits the home to provide medical facilities A basic medical kit is provided to the family Nutritional supplements are given to those in need Skill Building Sessions are conducted to enhance the clients ability to cope with the infection and increase their knowledge about HIV/AIDS We provide prompt referrals to other care providers and services, strengthening networks for people living with HIV and their caregivers
