HIV Treatment
Fighting HIV and giving new hope
People living with HIV need treatment and care that takes into account medical and social issues alike. Newlands Clinic in Harare provides comprehensive services for about 8,000 HIV patients from the poorest backgrounds.
Treating HIV calls for lifelong treatment to ensure that the virus cannot spread and lead to complicated and dangerous illnesses. There is great need for HIV treatment services in Zimbabwe. At Newlands Clinic, we focus on women, children and young people, and on people who perform a key role in their communities such as teachers and nurses.
Comprehensive treatment and support
The patients come to the clinic for an examination every one to three months. Our specially trained nurses know their medical histories and their circumstances exactly. They carry out most of the work themselves, supported by doctors where needed. The life-long therapy is closely monitored to identify treatment failure at an early stage and take appropriate action.
Newlands Clinic has a well-equipped lab where the patients’ viral load can be tested, and the clinic’s pharmacy makes sure that the needed medication is always available. Additional medical services such as women’s health services and dental care are also provided on site.

Successful HIV treatment hinges on taking our patients' circumstances into account. That's why we supplement it with other services:
- Nutritional support (A)
- Women's health (B)
- Psychosocial support (C)
- Services for children (D)
- Vocational skills training (E)
- Emergency medical care (F)
- Home visits (G)
HIV Medication in Zimbabwe
Not all HIV medicines are available in Zimbabwe, and it is therefore all the more important that the patients adhere strictly to the treatment in order to prevent resistance developing.
