Abstract

In this issue of the Southern African Journal of HIV Medicine, Secure the Future is pleased to present in CD form the manual, Seven Steps to Involve the Community in HIV/AIDS Treatment Support Programmes. The manual is the product of 4 years of intensive work on the implementation of a programme of community-based treatment support for patients with HIV/AIDS. Its overall purpose is to guide any group in how to integrate medical care with the power of community mobilisation and community services provided to patients in their homes and communities.
