Youth HIV Service

Tuungane Youth Centre

Starting in November 2005, FACES-Kisumu has collaborated with Tuungane (a youth organization that aims at promoting HIV prevention and improving uptake of VCT and STI services) in the provision of youth friendly and youth specific HIV services.

Tuungane has one central clinic and 5 satellite sites that are open daily until 7:00 PM, where youth receive VCT and STI services, and participate in a variety of recreational activities. Approximately 400 youth visit the clinics every month.

FACES and Tuungane have partnered to provide free, youth-specific HIV care services at Tuungane’s central clinic, with FACES providing technical supervision, training, medications (including ARVs), and laboratory services.
