"I am living well with HIV."
'Me Thabo was tested for HIV at Tšepong Clinic when she was pregnant with her second child. "For me, I did not want to have a sick child." Thabo was given navirapene, which dramatically cuts the chance of transferring the virus during birth. She now has two children who are HIV-free, for which she is very grateful.
Tšepong reaches 10,000!
A significant milestone was passed in the early months of this year at the Tšepong Clinic. As of March, more than 10,000 patients have enrolled for HIV/AIDS testing, counseling and treatment at the clinic since it opened in 2004. In addition to that, over 17,000 women, men and children have been seen at primary health care centres spread throughout the Leribe District.
