Community Care

Community Care

Community care in the context of HIV/AIDS refers to services and support provided within the community to people living with or affected by HIV. It includes emotional support, home-based care, medical aid, awareness activities, and creating safe environments free from stigma. Community care encourages people to access treatment, stay healthy, and feel accepted. It also helps reduce the burden on hospitals by enabling care in familiar surroundings. Community involvement builds ownership and collective responsibility in managing HIV/AIDS.
