View Award Abstract

Lesotho has the second highest HIV prevalence rate in the world, with a 25% prevalence rate among adults ages 15 to 49 (Lesotho Demographic and Health Survey, 2014). Prevalence is even higher among key populations, who have limited access to HIV services due to stigma and other structural barriers, at 72% among female sex workers and 33% among men who have sex with men (Ministry of Health, 2015). Despite marked progress in the HIV response, several barriers remain to achieve epidemic control by 2018 in Lesotho. Currently, only 59% of people living with HIV in Lesotho know their status (Global AIDS Response Progress Report, 2015). In order to reach the UNAIDS 90-90-90 treatment targets, the national testing gap must be addressed by prioritizing testing of population groups largely contributing to this gap, notably undiagnosed HIV-positive men (20-49) and HIV-positive young people under 30 years of age (among other priority target populations), with a mix of new, innovative, and tailored community-based HIV testing services interventions. Immediate community-based ART initiation and facilitated direct links from the community to health care facilities will also address the second largest gap in the treatment cascade. Under the CID-LINK project, Population Services International Lesotho (PSI/L) will leverage its extensive experience and expertise in Lesotho to further support those efforts and achieve HIV epidemic control through additional targeted efforts toward improved HIV case finding, increased collaboration with partners for linkages to ART services, and strengthened national systems for CBHTS. PSI/L’s long-term presence in Lesotho and its CBHTS experience presents an opportunity for improvements to begin immediately and to demonstrate rapid impact under this new CID-LINK project. The PSI/L office is fully operational and possesses the necessary infrastructure and capacity to begin immediately implementing the CID-LINK project. Purpose. In Year 1 of the CID-LINK project, PSI/L will test 135,000 individuals, identify an estimated 8,370 PLHIV (6.2% yield), and link at least 7,533 newly identified PLHIV to care (90%) through greater targeting, innovation, and collaboration. PSI/L will also strengthen community-based approaches to increase identification of PLHIV at earlier stages of the disease and coordinate closely with PEPFAR implementing partners, District Health Management Teams (DHMTs), and civil society organizations (CSOs) for improved linkages to care and treatment, early initiation of treatment, and retention in care in the five PEPFAR scale-up districts targeted in this project. To strengthen the national community-based and public-sector response, PSI/L will support the MoH to lead the implementation of enhanced national CBHTS and linkage systems and of Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Improvement (QI) methods that ensure high-quality CBHTS. Outcomes. The long-term outcomes of this project are to reduce HIV incidence and transmission and to reduce HIV-related morbidity and mortality in Lesotho. This will be achieved through the implementation of activities under four main strategies: 1) Implement CBHTS strategies to identify 90% of PLHIV with unknown HIV status; 2) Collaborate with other PEPFAR implementing partners, DHMTs, and CSOs to support active linkage of new positives into treatment; 3) Provide technical assistance to MoH to strengthen national systems for CBHTS and linkage to care and treatment; and 4) Implement quality assurance and quality improvement activities for CBHTS in collaboration with the lead laboratory partner and MoH. PSI/L will consistently monitor and evaluate project activities and outcomes to assess project progress against set targets, identify best practices, develop data driven improvement plans, and inform decision making.
