Under the grant DHEA expanded its comprehensive counseling program, which includes pre-test, post-test, and ongoing counseling services. An important aspect of the comprehensive counseling plan is the incorporation of ART preparedness. DHEA's home-based care service delivery was also made much more effective by providing the proper materials, medical supplies, and ongoing training to its home-based care providers working in five different branches.
