The HIV pandemic has been a scourge that has plagued the world for three decades. However, sub-Saharan Africa is much harder hit. The poverty observed in this region complicates the control of the infection. It is in this logic that the Yezu Mwiza Service, concerned about a healthy and fulfilled people spares no effort to contribute to the elimination of this disease. We have an active queue of 994 patients, 993 of whom are already on ARV treatment. To break the chain of transmission, we follow 69 pregnant and breastfeeding women for the prevention of HIV transmission from mother to child.

New patient care
Once arrived at the clinic, the patient is welcomed, registered and then a physical examination and the taking of vital parameters are carried out in order to properly orient the clientt
Pre-test image counseling
Each client wishing to have an HIV test benefits from pre-test and post-test counselling. If the result is negative, advice on prevention is given. If the result is positive and the patient agrees to be cared for in our structure, we prepare the file and then accompany the patient to the infirmary for further care. In addition, we perform tests through the advanced strategy of finding patients in their living environment. The choice of the location is motivated by the identification of the groups most at risk of contracting HIV. A considerable number of HIV-positive cases have was found during the 2018 fiscal year, i.e. 54 cases out of 76 expected cases.

Picture of the Pharmacy
The bulk of the drugs are stored in the large pharmacy which has recently been rehabilitated not only for better conservation but also to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Public Health and the Fight against AIDS. the small pharmacy contains few drugs to facilitate the daily supply, mainly of ARV drugs.

Our clinic offers good management of Tuberculosis. Indeed we have a very sensitive Gen Xpert machine in the diagnosis of this infection. It is for this reason that other structures and associations often bring their samples for analysis.
