Information on HIV/Aids health services including Voluntary Testing and Counselling, Anti-Retroviral Therapy and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are spread from one person to another by sexual contact. These infections cause Sexually Transmitted Disease (STDs), which are common, can cause pain, and can cause infertility and death if not treated. Some common STDs are gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, chlamydial infection and syphilis. Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and some subtypes of HPV are responsible for most cases of cervical cancer.
The service is available to all women and men over the age of 14 years who have been raped or sexually assaulted. Survivors are given medical, psychological and forensic care at specialist clinics in the province. At the clinic, the survivor will be interviewed and counselled by a health worker in a private room/area.
