Area Cameroon: SBCC Campaigns Result
Background
Access to available prevention remains challenging for the population at high risk in Cameroon. There are no national programmers in place, which ensure access to medical facilities, marginalised populations such as sex workers and men having sex with men continue to encounter barriers in accessing prevention services. The objective of this program was to close the different barriers inhibiting efficient access to STI prevention services and to gather recommendations for improvements by populations at high risk.
Result
At the end of the program January 2015 to June 2015 total Number of persons 1440 reach out as per targeted groups out of school adolescent girls 720 (50%), sex workers 240 (16.7%), commercial motorbike riders 240(16.7%), sex workers clients 200(13.8) %and MSM 40(2.8%).SBCC 210, Male condom 4620, Female condom (FC2)210, Lubrican 210, HIV voluntary testing and counselling 1440 and receive their result. Adolescent girls out of school 15-19 years old 19, 20-24 years old 18, Adolescent boys 15-19 years old 6.20-24 years 11, years 25≥ 12. Test confesses doing the test for the first time. 10% tested positive and were referred to the treatment centre.
Conclusion
Using peer educators recruited from populations at high risk for HIV acquisition, we found that uptake of HIV testing and counselling was high. Condoms play a significant role in HIV/AIDS prevention programs. Based on our experience on the field, populations at high risk are very receptive to condoms. Using peer educators to market condoms empower themselves, their goals, become organised and integrate into development service in their communities. Keeping them motivated enhances performance in record keeping and improves the monitoring and education system of the programs.
