What are the complexities and challenges of HIV and AIDS epidemics? And how can a health manager best respond to them? Across the globe and within countries there are a range of HIV epidemics - responses need to be not just evidence-based but also tailored to the context. This requires an in-depth understanding of what is driving each epidemic and why a given approach has worked elsewhere.
In this course, health managers gain an overview of how epidemiological and surveillance information should be analysed and used at local and national levels. Participants learn to analyse the drivers of the epidemic and identify prevention, treatment, care and support strategies, including impact mitigation. By the end of the course, participants will be able to critically discuss the principles of HIV responses and the range of interventions available.
The course is one of three HIV/AIDS modules offered at KIT. The other modules are:
These modules can be taken on their own or as part of the Master of Public Health - Specialization in HIV/AIDS or the Certificate programme in multisectoral responses to HIV/AIDS. Participants who successfully follow all three modules but are not enrolled in the Master's programme receive the certificate.
