Study on Barriers to Care for HIV-Infected Health Workers Disseminated Print E-mail

On August 27, the Capacity Project’s Dr. Shannon Galvin and study collaborators from the Swaziland Nurses Association disseminated findings of a qualitative research study conducted in Swaziland to identify HIV-infected health workers’ barriers to care.

Participants represented the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, WHO, National Emergency Response Council on HIV/AIDS and the Southern Africa Human Capacity Development Coalition (SAHCD). The findings offered previously undocumented insights into the special stigma that surrounds HIV-infected health workers.

The WHO and the undersecretary of health expressed motivation to collect ongoing data on health workers’ service utilization. The event also led to strengthened collaboration between Swaziland’s Comprehensive Wellness Center and the SAHCD Workplace Program.
