Project TEACH-Kenya

Public health programs and policies have utilized the "combination prevention" model of bringing together tailored, proven interventions in order to reduce the global impact of HIV. Project TEACH-Kenya adapts two effective HIV interventions, Project BRIEF (Behavioral intervention, Rapid HIV test, Innovative video, Efficient cost and health care savings, Facilitated seamless care) and STEP (Skill-based Teenage Education Program for HIV prevention) to increase HIV testing and counseling rates, implement proven risk reduction programs, and improve rates of linkage to care and ART initiation among adolescents in Kenya. The collaboration with St. Francis Community Hospital and input from the Kasarani community will increase the breadth, reach, and impact of this HIV prevention intervention in Kenya.
