HIV / AIDS - Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) | ICRH

A large proportion of HIV infected persons - ranging from an estimated 15% to over 50% in EU countries - are unaware of their infection, and therefore do not benefit from treatment and may transmit HIV to others, unknowingly. There is evidence that many opportunities are being missed to diagnose HIV infections in EU countries, particularly in health care settings. ECDC has commissioned ICRH to carry out a study on HIV testing policies, practices and barriers to HIV testing in the EU Member States.

The project called 'Integrated Network Combating HIV/AIDS' is a project in Mozambique, funded by the Flemish International Cooperation Agency and implemented by four partners: The Provincial  Health Department of Tete, 'Médecins sans frontières'-Belgium, the Institute of Tropical Medicine and ICRH. The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the provincial health system to deliver quality HIV/AIDS services. ICRH is responsible for strenghtening the PMTCT and STI care programmes, as well as the provision of reproductive health services to vulnerable populations at high-risk and capacity building of the provincial health authorities.
