Implementation Network

To complement this scientific work, we are establishing an Implementation Network focused on HIV drug resistance in Lesotho. This initiative aims to:

  • Improve the accessibility and application of resistance data for healthcare providers, patients, and policymakers.

  • Develop a national HIV resistance database to support surveillance and case management.

  • Create training materials and deliver nationwide capacity-building for healthcare workers on  the management of HIV drug resistance.

  • Launch a civil society information campaign to raise public awareness of HIV drug resistance.

Through these activities, we aim to strengthen local healthcare systems and empower communities to respond effectively to the challenges posed by emerging resistance, thereby improving long-term outcomes in HIV care. (https://data.snf.ch/grants/grant/229223)
