33 CHALLENGES FOR TREATMENT & Prevention Among Homeless - Pre and post test counselling is challenging based on the mental challenges of some of the population - Commercial and transaction sex prevail - Condom access limited unless provided free of cost on a consistent basis and when provided it is often sold - In the absence of the project persons don t seek treatment - Untreated STIs and other illnesses - Highly susceptible to HIV re-infection
34 CHALLENGES FOR TREATMENT & Prevention Among Homeless Treating Clients with Poly-diagnosis - e.g. substance and psychosis Unable to access ARVs because of their poor nutrition, adherence to medications and substance use There is no shelter for the Homeless HIV substance user especially the female Clients
35 CHALLENGES FOR TREATMENT & Prevention Among Homeless The available facilities in Kingston and St. Andrew are full and are unable to accept new clients Clients report that some shelters are too restrictive; or they are concerned about physical and sexual abuse Persons unwilling to undertake substance testing due to the length of time the test takes and 11 have actually aborted the process
36 CHALLENGES FOR TREATMENT & Prevention Among Homeless Unable to locate the HIV+ persons for follow-up referral appointments as they are nomadic or have to hustle to exist. Difficult to provide comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education due to mental status of some clients Struggling to reintegrate and re-socialize the homeless as there are insufficient resources such as low threshold drop-in-centres, rehab centres and facilities for skills training.
37 CHALLENGES FOR TREATMENT & Prevention Among Homeless It takes too long to access care at the Public Clinics and Hospitals Inconsistent supply of HIV Test Kits Inconsistent supply of Project Funds The Clients are unable to access National ID/Voters ID No Low-threshold Programmes for building skills of Homeless persons No Government facility catering to the needs of Substance Abusers
38 BARRIERS TO CARE Low literacy of target population Lack of motivation No coping skills No current residential rehabilitation offering Skills Training Lack of Governmental Support No access to National ID/Voters ID
39 RECOMMENDATIONS For Homeless HIV/Substance Abuser We need to develop a holistic and comprehensive package of services for Homeless persons especially for those who are HIV positive and substance users which should include A dedicated hostel for Homeless Substance Abusers who are HIV +VE and increasing the available low-threshold drop-in shelters Offer general medical services Provide access to ART Provide consistent nutritional support Increase Detoxification\Rehab facilities with skills training Consistent supply of condoms for free distribution
40 RECOMMENDATIONS For Future Response Social Support Skills training Reintegration with family and community Job placement Additional research to improve decision making Access to PATH programme Provide I.D., NIS, TRN to assist with reintegration Peer support groups to provide psychosocial support to clients and families as part of reintegration process
41 PROPOSED OBJECTIVE The project will assess, rehabilitate and reintegrate homeless persons in Kingston and St. Andrew into independent, productive members of the society
