Mental Health and HIV Care and Prevention
Supporting the mental health of at-risk individuals and people living with HIV.
The psychosocial toll of living with HIV can be devastating.
Good mental health is a protective factor that can lower the risk of HIV infection.
Providing mental health services to people living with HIV can increase adherence to ARTs, resulting in overall improved health and quality of life.
70% of global HIV cases are in sub-Saharan Africa.
Three in four new HIV infections occur in sub-Saharan Africa.
