A Demonstration of Masivukeni

Masivukeni is a counselor support tool for delivering an HIV-treatment adherence intervention in clinics in South Africa. It is a collaboration between Dr. Robert Remien, a research scientist at the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies, and CCNMTL. Masivukeni was developed with the help of counselors, nurses, and volunteers at Hout Bay clinic where it is currently piloting. It provides a detailed protocol for counselors to follow when helping non-adherent patients, and provides patients with interactive activities and videos that help explain the importance of adherence, how HIV and HIV-treatment regiments affect the body, and how treatment resistance can develop.
