Over the past six months eighteen Registered Nurses and Nurses Aids attended training run by Save the Children’s HIV Prevention Program regarding adolescent health and the guiding principles of youth friendly HIV and STI services. Save the Children is running this project with the support from AusAID. Both clinics now have qualified Voluntary Confidential Counseling and Testing (VCCT) staff and private, comfortable rooms in which to conduct the counseling of confidential health matters of young people.
