ADHERO
Project
Goal of this project is to improve the access and adherence to HIV care among people with a migrant background in Amsterdam, The Hague, and Rotterdam. Trained peers will contribute to improve testing rates within migrant communities in Amsterdam, The Hague, and Rotterdam. Also the peers will support people with a migrant background who have just found out about their HIV status. Through self-help groups the peers will also improve the position of migrants living with HIV.
There will be a specific focus on people from a Surinamese background as HIV is more prevalent in this group. Through qualitative anthropological research will be investigated why people with a Surinamese background are not getting tested earlier. Outcomes from this research will be used to improve testing services.
