The HIV Collaborative Fund, a community organization that raises funds to support treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS, and Johnson & Johnson are partnering in a Women and Families initiative, which focuses on HIV/AIDS treatment preparation services for women. These services include advocacy, treatment and adherence education, counseling on stigma and discrimination, skills-building workshops, and direct service delivery in each of the communities served. Thousands of women in communities throughout Sub-Saharan Africa have been reached over the past few years. In Uganda, the partnership supports The Mama's Club and the Together Against AIDS Positive Association, two grassroots groups focused on treatment preparedness education of women.
