The 2022 Pathfinder uses a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter, V-6 engine making 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. Read our recent Technical Brief, “ Community-based Approaches to Reinforce the National Response to Reducing HIV and TB Incidence and Mortality in Mozambique.Both the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder and 2021 Honda Passport are very evenly matched in terms of performance output.Read Pathfinder’s Recent “At a Glance: HIV and AIDS.”.Learn more about Joram Sunguti, Senior Technical Advisor, HIV/AIDS.The world has what it needs to end the HIV pandemic, and we are working with our partners to do just that. Investing in HIV prevention, care, and treatment not only reduces the number of people suffering and dying from HIV, it reduces inequalities and HIV-related stigma and discrimination. Peer educators mobilized and followed up with clients, and community health workers collaborated with program staff to achieve the best outcome. To do this well, the program had these key populations act as the main providers of services. In Kenya, over the last five years, our Afya Pwani program (2016-2021) focused on key populations-female sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender people, and injecting drug users-as part of its integrated HIV services. Approach 3: Leadership and AdvocacyĪ Youth Advisory Council representative used the 2019 Adolescent Youth Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights Strategy Launch in Kilifi county Kenya as an advocacy platform for increased services. During the intervention, Pathfinder identified over 1,000 HIV-positive pregnant women and initiated all of them on antiretroviral medications. In Nigeria, Pathfinder worked with the Ministry of Health and state structures to strengthen HIV prevention among pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. RARE reached patients through an integrated package of services, including community dialogues and male engagement activities, which reinforced HIV information dissemination and support for patients while reducing stigma and discrimination. In Mozambique, Pathfinder’s RARE project worked on innovative, community-based approaches to identify and confront individual barriers that kept people from adhering to treatment, the most common being forgetting the date of an appointment, and lack of transport to local health facilities. Pathfinder invests in improved supply chain systems and commodity security an adequate and well-trained workforce quality and comprehensive service delivery and robust monitoring and evaluation systems that provide data for decision-making. Approach 2: Health systems readinessĮlisa António Cuinica, activist (left) and Marta Joca, outpatient (right) in Mozambique. Between October 2019 and March 2021, over 11,000 HIV self-test kits were distributed, the majority of these to people younger than 30. These targeted interventions reached more than 28,000 adolescent girls. DREAMS targeted AGYW themselves, their sexual partners, and their communities, creating layers of protection. This intervention specifically addressed challenges that increase the vulnerability of adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) to HIV. In Kenya, Pathfinder implemented the Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS) intervention. We are taking this work a step further by deploying ‘mobile brigades’ to areas with high HIV prevalence to build community awareness. To do this, ECHO is scaling up PrEP dissemination through assignment of a ‘PrEP focal point’ in health facilities that distribute PrEP, and closely collaborates with community partners for PrEP referrals, data sharing, and demand creation. In Mozambique, Pathfinder’s ECHO project (Efficiencies for Clinical HIV Outcomes) provides pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to HIV-negative clients at substantial risk of HIV infection. Pathfinder’s current programs advance the integration of HIV care into the primary health care system through health systems strengthening and community-based interventions. Pathfinder’s HIV prevention, care, and treatment work has spanned 10 countries, and entails an evidence- based, rights-based, and gender-responsive approach. On World AIDS Day, Pathfinder continues to commit to the implementation of quality and comprehensive approaches to HIV prevention, care, and treatment.įor over 25 years, Pathfinder has contributed to the global HIV pandemic response, integrating HIV services with sexual and reproductive health interventions.
