SWAA Ghana, with support from the Global Fund, has formed 4 HIV clubs in four tertiary institutions in Ghana namely; University of Development Studies (UDS) Tamale, Ho Polytechnic, Sunyani Polytechnic and Gbewah Training College.

The aim of the SWAA/Global Fund project is to address gaps in the national response such as superficial understanding of HIV in many segments of the population including the youth, move people from general knowledge and awareness of risk to actually adopting safer behaviors, and to speed up the Integration of HIV/AIDS and Reproductive Health.

The HIV Clubs in the institutions are to:

  • Promote health and the adoption of safer sexual practices among PLHIV, Students and vulnerable groups
  • Provide club members with enough and correct HIV information to enable them serve as peer educators for their mates and the general school community.
  • Participate in bi monthly outreach HIV Testing and Counseling programmes in the community.

The clubs are working beyond expectation as they organize HIV Testing and Counseling programmes in their schools and jointly execute with SWAA members trained to conduct HIVTC. The club members organize various HIV education and behavior change activities on campus.
