Programs
Voluntary
Counseling and Testing Center (VCT)
The
clinic has a Voluntary Counseling and Testing Center program
aimed at encouraging local people to come forward for HIV/Aids
testing and counseling. This program is helping villagers to
learn about their HIV/Aids status. The program is also preparing
local people with information and support needed to change risky
behaviors that could lead to HIV/Aids. Also this program has
been implemented in Maasai Association's schools.
Maasai
Association sponsors a HIV/Aids awareness event celebrated worldwide
on December 1st of every year.
