In South Sudan, 140,000 adults and children are living with HIV—and the actual number of people who are positive for the disease is likely higher. That’s because many people in South Sudan do not know their status, due to both the stigma surrounding HIV and limited healthcare access. Without testing and treatment, the risk of mother-to-child transmission is high.

CMMB South Sudan is working to expand HIV prevention, care, and treatment across 13 counties in the Western Equatoria state, using an innovative model that reaches people at health facilities and in their communities. By delivering consistent antiretroviral therapy to pregnant women living with HIV, we can help eliminate new infections in newborns.
