Our Work.
Clinical Programs
Our clinical programs provide a range of comprehensive HIV/AIDs and family planning services in partnership with the Rwandan Defense Forces through its hospitals and clinics, with the aim of building internal capacity to meet community needs.
All our HIV interventions support UNAIDS’ global 90-90-90 goal by 2020, and 95-95-95 endgame goal by 2030. We aim to identify 90/95 per cent of all HIV-positive individuals, link 90/95 per cent of HIV-positive people to consistent antiretroviral treatment and ensure 90/95 per cent of all those on antiretroviral treatment attain viral suppression.

HIV Treatment and Care
AHC in collaboration with RDF provides HIV treatment for all People Living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolled in RDF health facilities. The provision of the minimum package of services for PLHIV also responds to the second 95 of the UNAIDS global AIDS strategy by enrolling HIV positive individuals on life-long antiretroviral treatment (ART). PLHIV on ART receive regular follow-up to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the treatment. The viral load which refers to the amount of virus in the HIV infected person is one of the main measures is the measurement of the success or failure of the HIV treatment. The third 95 of the UNAIDS global AIDS strategy targets the viral load suppression to 95% of the PLHIV on ART.
Family Planning
Without adequate access to health and support services, women of reproductive age are often at risk for both unintended pregnancy as well as HIV infection. To provide women, expecting mothers and their infants with the protection they deserve, comprehensive family planning services must be integrated into HIV interventions. This is key to preventing mother-to-child-transmission (PMTCT) of HIV and giving all children a healthy start to life.
At every stage of our HIV testing, treatment and care programs, women are provided with critical information and tools in order to make safe and healthy family planning decisions. At our partner hospitals and clinics, women who receive antenatal care, as well as labour and delivery services also receive a comprehensive PMTCT package, including testing, counselling and linkage to care, treatment and other services. For infants born HIV-positive, we also provide an integrated package of care and treatment.
