Supporting Home based care for HIV patient

Many of the people in the local communities have no idea of how to handle HIV positive patients and how to care for them.
To ensure proper care and feeding of the patients an organization based in Kakamega town known as EDDO visited one of the villages around the town in early February this year to teach them on home based care and support to HIV patients. The village member also learnt how to feed & and on what diet the patients should be put on. In addition the patients were also encouraged to visit the government hospitals especially the provincial general hospitals to access ARVs so as to prolong their life and boost their immune system and prevent opportunistic infections.
