ABOUT THE CLUB
The Naguru Teenage Post Test Club (NATPOT) was established on 2006 because of the need to bring together different young people who have tested for HIV to share experiences and get more knowledge on HIV/AIDS and other reproductive health issues in addition to acquiring skills on how to stay safe.
Initially the program had a teenage club whose membership was open to all young people between 10 – 24 years whose aim was to provide accurate ASRH information to young people using different strategies. And promoting services provided by the program. Since HIV counseling and testing is one of the services provided by NTIHC and majority of the members in the teenage club had tested, there was need to continue offering psychosocial support to those who are infected and equipping them with knowledge and skills to prevent further spread of HIV/AIDS.
PURPOSE
The establishment of this program was purposed towards responding to the expressed concerns of young people in ASRH in general and HIV/AIDS in particular to prevent further spread of HIV/AIDS and to provide psychosocial support to the young persons infected and affected by HIV in general.
