HIV/AIDS Testing and Awareness - Kenya

During the health workshops, SMRC staff learned that most community members did not know about HIV/AIDS in general or their status in

particular.

A local youth group mobilizes the community to get tested and performs skits and songs to create awareness about HIV/AIDS.

In partnership with the Ministry of Health, World Vision and Youth Alive, SMRC hosted two mobile Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) days in October and November 2008. In total 332 people came to the events and

the counselors tested 131 people.
