Service Delivery (counseling / testing, psychosocial support, palliative care, Malaria, tuberculosis and STI management)
Sexual and reproductive health and rights remain the most debated issue which explains why it has not been completely integrated as a development issue in Nigeria. Comprehensive sexuality education, care and support for persons living with HIV or affected by AIDS, diversities and differences, sexualities, bodily autonomy, bodily care, palliative care and other range of interventions are at the core of AHRDI’s work.
