Mum told me the HIV drugs were for chest pains

Health & Science

Children living with HIV have to be on Anti-Retroviral Drugs but most are oblivious of their status. Most forget to take their daily dose and this is why Nyawara Health Centre in Siaya County hosts a monthly training for children aged between 10-19 to encourage them to take drugs without fail.

Adherence councilor for Nyawara Health Centre, Alexander Muge, says the monthly training is called  (OTZ) Operation Triple Zero: “Zero missed drugs, zero viral load, zero missed appointments,” adding that it is held most Saturdays when children are not in school and it targets those going for their drugs.
