Clinic Champions

Adolescents adhere to care when the appropriate services are provided. The Nkwen Baptist Health Center says it is possible.

“14 years ago, when I started treatment, I was obliged to listen to what I considered absurd lectures amid adults at treatment centres and queued in with them for my ARVs. Before long, I defaulted. I didn’t see how it was helping me.” For Donald, who is now 28-years-old, HIV services were incredibly unfriendly when he was a 14-year-old adolescent.
