Many CBOs lack training opportunities for HIV-positive people. This model is likely to better acknowledge the real needs of this population. Mutual support is a service provided or facilitated by the organization through support groups or other mechanisms. While some HIV-positive people are CBO members and are involved in service delivery, few act as decision makers, which can affect the response to the real needs of this population. Health workers, CBO staff, and others who work in care, support, and prevention are badly informed on issues relating to HIV infection of women.
Extensive training is required throughout the country to improve the situation.
