Description

This guide identifies interventions in prevention, testing, treatment, care, clinical management and support services for the HIV and related co-morbidities for which there is evidence that community health workers can provide safe and effective care in HIV. It also provides policy recommendations on how to design, implement and optimize CHW programmes as part of broader health workforce and service delivery strategies that are acceptable to communities and can be sustained. Finally, it outlines key knowledge gaps that should be addressed through further research.
