HIV treatment information for Togo
In principle, HIV treatment is possible in Togo and especially at Lomé (at the private Policlinique Internationale St. Joseph, directed by Dr. Arnold Amatsi). Antiretrovirals are available. Prophylactica against opportunistic infections and reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are available within the framework of the local AIDS programme (Programme national de la lutte contre le sida).
Clinical and laboratory monitoring can be conducted in Lomé:
- Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Tokoin (CHU)
- Policlinique St. Joseph
- Centre Diagnostical Regional

HIV information / HIV NGOs in Togo
There is an AIDS counselling service in Lomé (CCD, close to the CHU). It offers lifestyle counselling adapted to the local customs, nutrition counselling and psychological support. Due to the high infection rate, treatment of PWAs is not considered unusual in Togo.

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.
