Summary of project status/future activities:

Responding to the needs of the community, this month the RHS employee conducted several sensitizations on STIs and encouraged the community to go with their sexual partners to be tested for STIs. She explained different STIs and their symptoms and complications that could arise if they went untreated. As well, she distributed 800 condoms including male and female condoms.

The Block G Health Services consulted 29 patients this month. The majority, 10, were for malaria and the second largest group, 6, were for intestinal parasites.

Future activities and projections:

In November there will be a camp-wide VCT day at road 36. The RHS employee has been advertising and urging people from Block G to go for the Voluntary Counseling and Testing.

Substantial problems or issues:

None at this time

Wishes or requests:
