Expanding Mozambique VCT, Saves Lives
-------------------------------------
Population Services International's (PSI) network of RENASCER
voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) centers in Mozambique is
rapidly expanding affordable access to well-trained and profes-
sional HIV counselors. RENASCER sites have tested over 40,000
people during the first eight months of 2004, providing them
with pre- and post-test counseling and appropriate referral to
support and care groups. Exit surveys show that more than 90% of
clients were satisfied with the services they received and would
recommend them to others. One man's testing experience at
RENASCER allowed him to "be born again," and today he is presi-
dent of a group from people living with HIV/AIDS.
