Project SOAR: Community-Based HIV Treatment Service Delivery Model for Female Sex Workers in Tanzania

Description

In the context of a growing need for sustainable programming, for expanding the reach of antiretroviral therapy (ART) services for female sex workers (FSWs), and the mounting evidence for community-based programming for key populations, we conducted a study to assess the effectiveness of a community-based ART distribution program for HIV-positive FSWs. HIV testing, care, and ART services were provided by trained ART providers. This project is the first community-based ART service delivery strategy for FSWs using a community-based HIV testing and counseling services mobile and home-based platform in Tanzania.
