HIV Care and Treatment

According to the World Health Organization, every day “more than 6,800 people become infected with HIV and more than 5,700 die” due primarily to a lack of access to HIV prevention, treatment, and care services.

To address this need, Futures Group supports HIV care and treatment providers worldwide in collecting and using data for improved outcomes. Futures Group’s strategy is to provide a set of highly configurable tools with comprehensive reporting capability as freely available solutions to HIV/AIDS clinics and hospitals in resource-poor countries.

Using those tools, the Futures Group team builds capacity at local partner treatment facilities to develop strong patient monitoring and management systems that collect and track strategic information. Under the PEPFAR-supported AIDSRelief Project, Futures Group uses training modules, technical assistance, and continuous quality assurance to promote a data use culture at local partner treatment facilities. By collecting strategic information, the providers are able to offer higher quality HIV care and treatment, chronic disease management, and viral resistance monitoring.
