Advantages of PLWHA Involvement PLWHA can:PLWHA can: -identify the needs of HIV/AIDS services -design and implement programmes that meet those needs -evaluate the effectiveness of such programmes This is important since the agencies of themselves may not be aware of the underlying grassroots problems.

Networking and partnering by agencies with support groups and organisations of PLWHA will allow for a sustainable, long term response to HIV and AIDS.Networking and partnering by agencies with support groups and organisations of PLWHA will allow for a sustainable, long term response to HIV and AIDS.

3. Our role at the level of the Community of PLWHA  Remind each other that HIV is a virus not a moral condition.  Encourage adherence to our medicinal regimen, nutritional regimen, exercising positive prevention and keeping a positive state of mind which is going to impact greatly on our quality of life.  Mobilise PLWHA to advocate for greater access to effective treatment, care and support

Final Thought “CRN+ as the authentic voice of PLWHA in the Caribbean, recognizes the critical role that we play in ensuring Universal access to care and treatment by To this end, CRN+ has implemented several programmes in the region and has developed a cadre of knowledgeable advocates who will lead the charge and open the doors to Universal access.” Christopher Dorsett Chair, CRN+
