Involvement
Community involvement
A screening programme only works if the people it is for are willing to use it.
From the start, SANCA has worked with two reference groups: one of women with HIV and one of transgender and non-binary people with HIV. The groups have been recruited through Posithiva Gruppen. The groups have contributed to the study plan, the patient information and the questionnaires, which have been adapted to the needs and concerns of each group. Because we want to know whether screening is acceptable, not only whether it works, participants' views form part of the results.
Results will be presented not only at scientific conferences and in journals, but also at seminars arranged for the community.
