USAID makes HIV/AIDS information accessible to illiterate patients

Produced through a unique public/private partnership, Healthy Living: A Counseling Guide for Health Workers on Opportunistic Infections, Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), and the Management of ART Side Effect is an innovative low-literacy tool that is currently used by health care providers in Kenya and Ghana. Community organizations are also adapting it for use in Senegal, Tanzania, South Africa, and Malawi. The Kenya government produced Healthy Living with technical support from Family Health International and financial assistance from USAID and the Pfizer Foundation.
