Re: Knowledge and Practices of Tradtional healers on HIV and STIs

Dear FORUM,

Re: /message/9541

This is a very good job done--three cheers for the same. I wish this can be

replicated all over the country--the reason is simple,because of many

reasons(lack of health facilities,faith ,approachability) people still go to

these traditional healers.

KAP studies carried out for them will enlighten us to train them and help in

curbing the disease further.

Goood job -keep it up

Dear FORUM,

Re: /message/9541

 

In my personal experience, some PLHIV have squandered all savings on the

slightest ray of hope- one spent over 25k in treatment at baba ramdev pharmacy;

many went to faith healers for secondary psychosocial mainfestations who dont

charge any money, but the vast majority suffer in silence with mental health

problems.

 

There is no provision for mental services of PLHIV under NACP, THIS ISSUE NEEDS

TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR ADHERENCE OF ART.
