Anthony* is 41 years old and a member of KIDAs HIV counseling program. He has embraced the Differentiated Service Delivery Model (DSDM), a program that provides various ways of providing HIV prevention, care and treatment services that are tailored to the needs and preferences of people living with HIV and creating efficiencies in the system. He is in the CCLAD (Community Client Led ART Distribution) model which limits the numbers of times a client has to visit a health facility by creating groups in villages. To participate a client must have 95% adherence over the prior year.
In November it was Anthony’s turn to pick up his refill for himself and his other group members. He stated that often times there were delays at the health facility and sometimes space was limited. With DSDM, the group members can continue work at home while only one member does the drug pick up. He says that there is an element of ownership in the system because the group members keep checking on themselves to see if they are taking the drugs well and clients no longer hide from each other.
