The current activities under the listed partners are located in Central, Nairobi, Eastern and Nyanza regions. We anticipate making ~9 awards to follow on these activities. This TBD will cover Comprehensive Prevention care and treatment activities including PMTC, Provider Initiated Counseling and Testing, Basic care, Antiretroviral treatment and Prevention of HIV in clinical settings.
These activities will contribute to the expansion of access to quality comprehensive care and treatment services for people with HIV and pregnant mothers, strengthened human resource capacity to deliver comprehensive, prevention and treatment services, and a strengthened referral network for the provision of these services.
Activities will cover Nairobi, Eastern, Central and Nyanza regions in Kenya. These activities target pregnant mothers and people living with HIV/AIDS, including HIV positive infants (0 - 5 years), children (6 - 14 years), adult men and women and pregnant women. Public health care providers, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and laboratory workers are targeted for increased comprehensive prevention, care and treatment knowledge and skills
The To be Determined (TBD) partners will expand a collaborative relationship with National AIDS and STD control Program at national, provincial and district level . TBD will also support establishment/strengthening of other regional activities, including developing a system for quality control at supported facilities and the development of a regional system for transfer of blood samples/results to optimize the utilization of CD4 cell count machines. TBD partners will also assist with development of a quality improvement program for the region and will assist the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP) with implementation of a similar system nationally.
Due to the expansion of HIV clinical care services and the shortage of health workers, funds will be used to hire additional health workers who will be placed at the facilities providing HIV services. Funds will also be used for training of these health workers in comprehensive prevention care and treatment.
TBD partners will support integration of prevention care and treatment services at facility level. TBD partners will implement in coordination with other USG partners and Ministry of health at provincial and district level.

The TBD partner will promote sustainability, in collaboration with the Kenyan Ministry of Health (MOH), the PEPFAR team, and the HHS/CDC office in Kenya, to strengthen, expand and initiate high quality, VMMC services in selected geographical areas in Nairobi province. To avoid duplication, the partner will work in collaboration with other stakeholders and implementing partners in Nairobi province.
Nairobi province has second highest HIV prevalence in Kenya. According to the 2007 Kenya AIDS Indicator Survey, the province had an HIV prevalence rate of 9%, whereas Kenya's average rate was 7.4%. About 20% of males are not circumcised and based on population; this is estimated to about 170,000 uncircumcised men aged 15-64 years. Specific areas within the Nairobi province where these uncircumcised males reside require targeted demand creation as well as provision of safe and quality MC services.
It is envisaged that the TBD will deliver the minimum package for MC services, using innovative approaches as recommended by the Kenya MC Taskforce, to ensure rapid coverage of 'catch up' population with quality and safe MC services through training of health care providers on MC skills. These may include use of facilities, as well as mobile and outreach MC services to smaller dispensaries, health centers, schools, churches and market places/community centers. The capacity of facilities serving residents will be increased to provide MC in response to increased demand for services likely to result from near-universal awareness of HIV status among many clients who will be referred from Home based CT services (HBVCT). Through this activity, the partner will train Health Care workers and provide over 10,000 Male Circumcisions. Outreach and/or mobile MC services will involve high quality high-volume standardized approach through trained mobile teams and will follow MOH guidance. Mobile teams will work at temporary sites including existing buildings and tents that will be equipped for minor surgical procedures and pre- and post-operative services. Mobile MC Teams may geographically follow HBVCT teams as they move through the target geographical area to ensure coverage and no missed opportunities.
Pre-operative assessment will follow group education about MC and HIV risk reduction, including the information that MC is not 100% protective against HIV acquisition. Standard HIV prevention messages in group educational sessions will include age-appropriate information about delaying sexual debut, abstinence where appropriate, partner risk reduction and use of condoms correctly and consistently. This activity includes major emphasis in training of health care providers on VMMC skills, development and distribution of Information, Education and Communication, minor renovation of health facilities out-patient theatres to provide VMMC services and linkages to appropriate health care services.

The program will support the roll out of this strategy in at in all assigned regions. Improved access to laboratory services for HIV+ women and their exposed infants is an important step in ensuring accurate assessment for HIV care and treatment. The program will work with the other PEPFAR funded partners, Ministry of Health and other implementing partners in establishing and maintaining a functional laboratory network in the geographical area of focus. Intra-partum and immediate post partum counseling and testing shall also be strengthened with a target of reaching 100% of all women attending delivery services at the maternity units within the program area. Currently over 50% pregnant women admitted in the labor and delivery units do not know their HIV status. The program will also promote couple counseling and testing to identify discordant and concordant couples to improve primary prevention and facilitate linkage to HIV care and treatment program for the eligible, in addition to strengthening Prevention with Positives strategy. The program will support the training of 100 service providers on PMTCT, Rationale use of ARVs, and Data collection and reporting in all facilities
