The strategy to achieve our objectives include:

• Establishment of the EIC (Early Intervention Clinic) in January 2005 in Bugolobi, Kampala. Goal is to see at least 30 patients a day or approximately 700-800 per month. Offering subsidized medical services: treatment, counseling and lab testing. Becton-Dickinson provided a CD4 machine. Need to raise funds to provide free or subsidized CD4 tests.
• EIC will also be used as a center for research on HIV/AIDS.
• Mentors, as agents of change, will be trained in HIV education, counseling and prevention of the spread of HIV. The goal, for the next 15 years, is to deploy 10,000 mentors in all the districts of Uganda. HIV Clusters will be identified, broken and eventually eliminated through the use of Mentors.
