Reason for Variance
The Directorate
over achieved the
target due to the
HCT campaign
that was launched
by Department of
Health as well as
the involvement
of external
partners and more
awareness sessions
which were
conducted.
Achievements vary
due to the fact that
offenders who are
eligible for Anti-
Retroviral Treatment
(ART) differs on a
month to month
basis due to:
• Not all offenders
who qualified
were put on
treatment
because they
were undergoing
treatment
readiness
counselling
as prescribed
by National
Department of
Health (DoH) ART
Guidelines.
• Some of the
offenders refused
to take ARV
Interventions to
strengthen HIV and
AIDS awareness to
be implemented
Achievements vary
due to fact that
offenders that are
eligible for Anti-
Retroviral Treatment
(ART) differed on
a month to month
