Teens Club, Sentebale Partner In ARV Adherence

The partnership was confirmed by the District AIDS coordinator Stella Keipeile in an interview saying the two organisations will sign a memorandum of understanding soon. She said Sentebale will also provide financial support to the club and the partnership will run for a period of three years.

Keipeile said adolescents living with HIV face different challenges that impact on their lives especially during their transition to adulthood. She said they suffer isolation which uniquely affects them both emotionally and psychologically. “Poor adherence was identified as a problem because those children depend on their guardians for supervision who are sometimes occupied,” she said.
