Our Services

Medical & Mental Health Support

At PARI, we provide comprehensive healthcare services to ensure people living with HIV (PLHIV) receive the necessary medical attention. Our support includes adherence counseling, mental health therapy, and regular screenings for cervical cancer and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), helping members maintain their overall well-being.

Socio-Economic Support & Education

Beyond medical care, we focus on empowering our members through socio-economic programs. We offer nutritional support, skills training, and peer-led HIV education workshops, equipping individuals with the knowledge and resources to improve their quality of life and achieve financial independence.

Research & Training

We collaborate with IPERI, Fogarty International Center, and HRTP to advance HIV research and training initiatives. Our members have opportunities to participate in clinical trials and advisory committees, contributing to the development of better treatments and policies for HIV care. Through these research partnerships, we strengthen both patient advocacy and scientific progress.
