HIV Care for Health Workers: Perceptions and Needs 

 

The Capacity Project is announces the publication of Technical Brief 13:
HIV Care for Health Workers: Perceptions and Needs. 

 

This study illustrates the profound impact that HIV has on the health
workforce in Swaziland, with over 74% of health workers interviewed
reporting having personally known a colleague who is either HIV positive
or must care for a family member who is positive. Respondents offered
new and previously undocumented insights into the special stigma that
surrounds HIV-infected health workers, in particular
self-stigmatization. HIV services are needed and desired, but should be
delivered so that they are accessible, private, confidential, not
specific to HIV and well understood by health workers.
