With a background as a Public Health officer and 8 years of experience in PEPFAR-funded organizations, I have actively engaged in conducting Community KVP Interventions alongside Prevention, Care, and Treatment efforts. My medical expertise complements my role, and I have accumulated extensive experience in developing and executing community workplans that yield positive results.
Throughout my journey, I have excelled in formulating diverse strategies aimed at enhancing Positive Identification while curbing unnecessary overtesting. These strategies include innovative approaches like Index, Social Network Strategy (SNS), and Targeted Testing.
My proficiency extends to crafting comprehensive and comprehensible reports as well as delivering impactful presentations. During my tenure of 2 years with Amref, I have achieved noteworthy milestones, including spearheading the development of the Zanzibar KP Model and initiating PrEP Services and HIV Self-Testing. Notably, I have successfully introduced PrEP to 1922 clients and distributed HIV Self-Tests to 2621 clients, resulting in a yield of 6%.
