We Focus On
PSI Lesotho uses innovative community HIV testing methods, including index and self-testing services, to identify the last pockets of unknown positive cases and link them to care and treatment services, serving to eliminate the HIV epidemic in Lesotho. Additionally, PSI Lesotho works with the local military to provide comprehensive HIV services—from prevention with voluntary medical male circumcision and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), to testing and to treatment.
Through the DREAMS initiative, PSI Lesotho provides integrated HIV and sexual and reproductive health services tailored for adolescent girls, young women and their sexual partners in communities and around Catholic facilities in two districts in Lesotho.
