HTS
HIV Testing Services (HTS) refer to the processes and procedures used to detect the presence of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in an individual's blood or other bodily fluids. HTS typically include: 1. Pre-test counseling: Information and guidance provided before testing. 2. Testing: Blood or oral fluid samples are collected and tested for HIV antibodies or antigens. 3. Post-test counseling: Results are shared, and individuals receive guidance on next steps. 4. Linkage to care: HIV-positive individuals are connected to treatment and support services. 5. Confidentiality and privacy: Testing and results are kept confidential. HTS aim to: - Identify HIV infections early - Prevent transmission - Connect individuals to treatment and support - Reduce stigma and promote awareness HTS are usually provided in healthcare settings, community centers, or mobile testing units.

PWUD/PWID
PWID stands for People Who Inject Drugs. It refers to individuals who inject drugs, such as heroin, methamphetamine, or other substances, into their bodies using needles or syringes. PWID background includes: 1. High-risk behaviors: Sharing needles, syringes, or other equipment, which can lead to blood-borne infections like HIV, hepatitis, and abscesses. 2. Health concerns: Increased risk of overdose, skin infections, and cardiovascular diseases. 3. Social and economic challenges: Stigma, marginalization, poverty, and homelessness. 4. Criminal justice involvement: Arrests, incarceration, and legal issues related to drug use. 5. Limited access to healthcare: Barriers to medical treatment, harm reduction services, and substance use disorder treatment. Understanding the PWID background is crucial for developing effective harm reduction strategies, improving healthcare access, and addressing the social determinants of health that affect this population. People who use drugs (PWUD) often have elevated prevalence of substance use disorders and co occuring chronic conditions such as mental health issues (eg..mood disorders) and infection diseases (eg HIV,Hepatitis) We render services within Westrand and we are located at 91 Von Brandis street Krugersdorp 1739

Opiod Substitution Therapy (OST)
BACKGROUND The People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) programme funded by the Global Fund aims to reduce HIV and Hepatitis infection as well as the negative health and human rights outcomes for People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) in South Africa. Programme Outcomes • Prevent new infections of HIV, Hepatitis and TB amongst people who inject and use drugs. • Improve the 95 95 95 health outcomes for PWID by using combination prevention approaches. • Improve access to drug treatment for PWID to support HIV prevention and improve quality of life for PWID. • Reduce human rights, social and structural barriers to HIV, Hepatitis and TB prevention, care and impact among PWID. • Strengthen advocacy for PWID human rights and programming in South Africa. PURPOSE The purpose of the Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) process evaluation is to understand the benefits of OST, challenges in implementation and use the results of the evaluation to inform programme implementation in the next grant cycle. The evaluation will seek to understand factors that support or deter OST accessibility, uptake and retention and its linkages to treatment data such as ART and hepatitis services. Drawing on the resulting information, lessons can be formulated and used to improve on current programme implementation for the remainder of the grant, and can inform future grants and other PWUD programmes. Objectives of The Evaluation 1) To profile OST beneficiaries and document results of the data: • Provide a description of the Harm reduction programme cohort in relation to gender, age, education, description (PWUD or PWID) • Provide a description of the OST cohort in relation to gender, age, education, description (PWUD or PWID), duration on treatment • Reduction in illicit opioid use: Evaluate the percentage of patients who have successfully reduced or stopped using illicit opioids based on ASSIST scores. • Improved social functioning: Examine improvements in employment, education, housing, and family relationships. • Health outcomes: Analyze changes in physical and mental health, including infectious disease rates and mental health status. • Measure improvements in the overall quality of life for participants, including well-being, social integration, and stability. 2) To assess the factors and programme elements which support or deter OST accessibility, uptake and retention: • Barriers and enablers to clients’ access to OST • Describe demand creation and information dissemination processes for OST • Barriers and enablers to clients’ retention on OST. • Evaluate how PWUDs’ understanding of their risk profile influence OST uptake and retention 3) To assess resource requirements and utilization: • Whether the current resources, capacity and infrastructure in line with the outcomes of the OST programme. 4) To assess whether the OST programme has achieved its intended outcomes • To what extent does being on OST contribute to other programme outcomes in terms of ART, Hepatitis, TB treatment uptake and retention. Evaluation Participants • People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) • People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) • Family or support buddies of OST patients • Global Fund Programme Implementers (Subrecipient staff) • Community members • Stakeholders: South African National AIDs council (SANAC) TSU and Sub-Recipients (SRs), Department of Health, South African Health Products regulatory Authority (SAPHRA), Department of Social Development • Local technical experts and other OST implementing organizations (Community Oriented Substance Use Programme (COSUP), TB HIV Care PEPFAR sites) • Community led monitoring programme staff
