Involving People Living with HIV in prevention Truckers and PLHIV have been working closely together in the six GLIA countries in East Africa. In several countries, like Rwanda and Tanzania, PLHIV shared their status and life story during SALT visits with truckers. After that, several truckers joined the PLHIV network. In Uganda, the team involves PLHIV to raise the truckers' awareness about HIV. (see video of Samuel Kibanga) More about the partnership with GLIA |
