Community tele-counseling strategy for populations living in contexts of vulnerability to HIV, AIDS, or Tuberculosis in the city of Cartagena de Indias.
This strategy collected 3,558 data points and revealed users' resistance to using conventional service channels, turning this into an opportunity to continue developing actions that reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality from HIV/AIDS and/or Tuberculosis in Cartagena.
Innovative awareness strategies on Tuberculosis-HIV with a gender and differential focus in the LGBTI population.
The sensitization of the LGBTI community was successfully achieved regarding basic knowledge and community approaches to Tuberculosis and TB-HIV coinfection. This helped them understand, recognize, and obtain sufficient information to detect new cases and assist in preventing the disease within these minority population groups. The outreach to this population group faced some limitations and barriers due to the stigma and discrimination experienced by individuals in this community. It was necessary to attend nightlife venues and tolerance zones for recruitment and invitation processes. Additionally, a larger portion of the target population benefited from this strategy. The strategy allowed for the visibility of community skills and abilities among individuals in the affected community, generating interest from other public and private organizations. To date, three (3) Peer Navigators trained through the strategy have been hired as a result of the increased recognition of the importance of community-based peer approaches within the LGBTI community.
Development of support, monitoring, and assistance actions for the territorial entities of Medellín, Bucaramanga, and Barranquilla in the implementation processes of the ENGAGE-TB initiative.
The prioritized territories that have been accompanied in the process express the need to expand actions involving civil society but with the support of the Tuberculosis Social Observatory for the implementation processes of the ENGAGE-TB approach.
