Why

Reduce new HIV infections and provide consistent treatment using innovative health facility- and community-based strategies.

What

Since 2009, we have provided prevention, care, and treatment to thousands of people in South Sudan. A key focus of our work has been eliminating mother-to-child transmission—100% of pregnant women who receive antenatal services through CMMB South Sudan learn their HIV status.

In 2024, we launched our new project, known as the South Sudan HIV/AIDS Reversal Project, or SSHARP. With funding from CDC and PEPFAR, SSHARP provides HIV services to 13 South Sudan counties. In just the first three quarters of 2024, we provided HIV testing to 140,618 people.

The program prioritizes:

• Engaging community members, testing, and making access to treatment easy and accessible.
• Help patients stay on their treatment through activities within both the communities and health facilities.
• Spread knowledge about the life-changing impact of achieving viral suppression—and strengthen our diagnostic capacity to monitor it among patients.
• Develop community partnerships to enhance program impact even further
• Strive for continuous program improvement through quality monitoring and evaluation.

This program supports 39 health facilities. Our community-based services follow a unique model with a proven track record of success. We partner with churches and markets—even boda boda stops—giving people additional (and often, less intimidating) places to receive HIV testing and care services.
