Overview
HIV/AIDS is one of the most devastating and widespread global pandemics of the past century. Community engagement is an important part of the strategy to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS and provide treatment and care. Community engagement involves training and empowering local communities to provide support to people living with HIV/AIDS, to prevent transmission and to help affected people access the appropriate services. Through this strategy, communities can be mobilized to detect new cases, link them to care, and promote behaviors that can prevent HIV transmission. Community engagement also plays an important role in reducing stigma and discrimination of people living with HIV/AIDS, and in promoting knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that are important for fighting the disease. Along with other public health and clinical approaches, effective community engagement is key to preventing, managing and controlling HIV/AIDS.
