Background

SHDEPHA+ is implementing a PEPFAR-funded project funded by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) of the Department of Defense (DoD) through HJFMRI Tanzania, as part of the HIV Prevention Care and Support Program in the Southern Highlands (SHL). This program focuses on collaborating with the Ministry of Health (MOH), PO-Regional Authorities and Local Government, and MCDGWSG to provide comprehensive community-based HIV prevention, care, treatment, and support services across the Southern Highland regions, including Mbeya, Songwe, Ruvuma, Rukwa, and Katavi.

The partnership with HJFMRI is aligned with the goal of reaching UNAIDS’ 95-95-95 targets: ensuring 95% of people living with HIV know their status, 95% of diagnosed individuals are on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 95% of those on ART achieve viral suppression. For FY25, SHDEPHA+ will implement this HIV/AIDS Care and Support Program in Mbeya, with a focus on three key areas: HIV/AIDS prevention, community-based HIV services (CBHS), and HIV testing and counselling services (HTS).

To meet these goals, SHDEPHA+ provides services that address gender-based violence (GBV), community HIV testing (HTS), pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), especially for adolescents and youth aged 15-24. The program also focuses on key and vulnerable populations (KVP) at higher risk for HIV. In addition to prevention and testing, SHDEPHA+ engages in tracing clients who have missed appointments (MISSAPs) and those experiencing interruptions in treatment (IIT) to ensure continued care and contribute towards achieving the 95-95-95 targets.
