Soul Beat Africa
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

HIV/AIDS Continuum of Care

1 comment
The main principles underlying the HIV/AIDS Continuum of Care (CoC) model are a strong and consistent plan, local ownership, and links both between different services in the referral hospital and between the community and the referral hospital. These principles have been the foundation for an integrated provision of services including: (1) voluntary confidential counseling and testing (VCCT) services, linking prevention and care; (2) community services (home-based care (HBC) teams and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) support groups); (3) health facility-based care (opportunistic infection (OI) treatment and antiretroviral therapy (ART) for adults and children; tuberculosis (TB)/HIV care and treatment; prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), and laboratory and pharmacy services); and (4) support centres and group activities.

Could you please send me the original source of this model as soon as possible? I am citing it in a publication and am working towards a deadline on Thursday 2/13/03. Thanks a ton,
