At Last!
April 12 2012
At last! The United States Public Health Service released for HIV-infected individuals. ”Antiretroviral treatment is recommended for all HIV-infected individuals.” It’s simple, straight forward and life-saving.
So for the HIV epidemic worldwide is the glass half full or half empty?
For those living in resource rich countries it is more than half full. Tragically, the recommendation to treat everyone is too late for the millions who already lost their lives. Now is the time to correct this injustice.

Lyn Lusi - Co-founder of HEAL Africa
March 2012
Global Strategies for HIV Prevention mourns the loss of our friend, Lyn Lusi, the co-founder of HEAL Africa Hospital, one of our implementing partners in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lyn’s mission to care for the Congolese people, especially women, marked her as a woman of courage, strength, passion, and mercy. We extend our condolences to the Lusi family, the staff at HEAL Africa, and the Congolese people, all of whom were richly blessed by her hard work and tender care. To read more about Lyn Lusi, please visit the HEAL Africa website.

Welcome Joshua and Mark - New Pediatricians
December 2011
Global Strategies for HIV Prevention has, for the first time in its 13 year history, employed two American pediatricians in a partnership with International Pediatric Outreach Project. The pediatricians, Joshua Bress, M.D. and Mark Corden, M.D., C.M. have been working in two different capacities and two different regions. Dr. Bress has been based at the Children’s AIDS Program (CAP) in Democratic Republic of the Congo since July 2011. He has been working alongside Nicole Jaramillo, a steadfast volunteer working with CAP and also the Prevention of Mother to Child HIV Transmission (PMTCT) in Goma. Together their work at our prevention and care programs has provided additional support for the Congolese staff who have operated the programs since inception. Dr. Corden has been based at St. Joseph’s Catholic Hospital in Liberia since September 2011. His current focus is addressing education and training. Dr. Corden will be lecturing at two workshops for healthcare workers in January and February 2012.
The inspiration for Hope Walks came from children, to help children. Money raised by Hope Walks funds orphan programs in the developing world that provide food, school tuition and supplies, routine healthcare and, when needed, medical treatment for HIV or other diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis.
Hope Walks is a promise to the children of the epidemic. Find a walk near you.
