Earthspring International Outreach partnership meeting with Aids Healthcare Foundation (AHF) in office on 20th November 2017.
There are our loved ones in prison who need to know their HIV status. Some are infected by the virus and need care.
#Access to HIV +TB intervention services may be inadequate or nonexistent for the “justices involved persons”
#Earthspring International Outreach is about to partner with AHF to ensure that these services are available for prisoners living with or without HIV/AIDS + TB virus.
Prisoners have right to good health irrespective of their offences: test, treat and counsel for safe home- return.
