Positive clients supported
Since 2013, MSA has operated a Youth-Friendly Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) centre at the MSA compound in Maridi — providing confidential HIV testing, counselling and referrals.
Every client who tests positive is referred to the ART clinic at the main hospital, and to date all our HIV positive clients are enrolled on treatment. This wrap-around approach ensures that testing leads to real, life-sustaining care.
Every client receives pre- and post-test counselling in a safe, youth-friendly space.
Free, rapid and confidential HIV testing available to all.
Positive clients are referred to the main hospital ART clinic and enrolled on treatment.
Youth-friendly VCT services located at the MSA compound in Maridi. Free, confidential, and available year-round. Every client is counselled and — where appropriate — referred to the ART clinic.
MSA reaches both in-school and out-of-school youth with HIV/AIDS awareness messages via school clubs, community outreaches and the community FM radio — reducing new infection rates and stigma.
Through our VCT services and direct distribution to active youth centers and hot spots, we ensure that sexually active youth have easy access to protection.
