HIV treatment information for Mozambique

In Mozambique, treatment facilities for people with HIV/AIDS are limited to some private clinics in Maputo, the clinics "Sommerschield" and "Cruz Azul" for example.

These clinics have the main combination therapies in stock and can import them from neighbouring South Africa. However, there is no appropriate laboratory equipment.

People who live with HIV/AIDS should also be aware of their specific vulnerability caused by other infectious diseases that are common in Mozambique (like malaria, hepatitis, tuberculosis, cholera, meningitis, parasitosis etc.).

Global Criminalisation of HIV Transmission Scan

The Global Criminalisation Scan is an initiative of GNP+. It aims to collect and keep up to date information on national and state level laws criminalising the transmission of or exposure to HIV. It also aims to provide an easily accessible ‘clearing-house’ of resources, research, and initiatives on the subject and to provide a platform for advocacy initiatives.

Find out more about the scan and the criminalisation of HIV transmission legislation at http://criminalisation.gnpplus.net/.
