What TB HIV Care does

TB HIV Care is a registered South African non-profit company (NPC) founded in 1929 that delivers integrated TB and HIV prevention, treatment, and care services across all nine provinces and 40 districts of South Africa. Its beneficiary base spans general underserved communities, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), sex workers, people who inject drugs (PWID), inmates in correctional centres, and MSM and transgender populations — groups with documented HIV prevalence of 28-72% in the source data. Programme reach is substantial: in the April 2024 to March 2025 reporting period the organisation tested 1,153,136 people for HIV, supported 321,492 people on ART (95% viral-load suppression), initiated 47,286 on PrEP, screened 658,382 for TB, served 2 million+ people overall, and delivered 19,623 sex-worker packages, 23,826 inmate interactions, and 6,288 post-violence care services.

The programme portfolio comprises the DREAMS Programme and the newer My Journey Youth Programme for AGYW (launched 1 April 2026), the Care and Treatment Programme for HIV/TB, the Key Populations Programme, harm reduction services (needle/syringe programmes and OAT), the Vusubuntu Coalition advocating decriminalisation of personal drug use, the Close the Gap and U=U public-health campaigns, and the Educare Programme serving children hospitalised with TB at Brooklyn Chest Hospital. Underlying technology is operational rather than platform-based: a hybrid service-delivery architecture (Drop-In Centres, mobile clinics, community outreach at hotspots), a geospatial Community Mapping Project housed in the KZN Office of the Premier, a Patient Navigation Model that demonstrated 79% retention vs 64% under standard care in an Eastern Cape RCT, panic-button technology for Learner Support Agents in schools, a nine-episode Realtalk multimedia series co-produced with Cape Town TV, and digital chest X-ray with computer-aided detection for TB screening in correctional facilities. The registered head office relocated to Unit 17-102, Waverley Business Park, Mowbray, Cape Town, effective 1 May 2026.

Revenue is grant-driven rather than commercial. Primary funding comes from PEPFAR via CDC, The Global Fund (with TB HIV Care operating as principal recipient on some portfolios and as sub-recipient via NACOSA and The Aurum Institute on others), the Elton John AIDS Foundation (three-year harm-reduction grant launched June 2025), Open Society Foundations, and aidsfonds; this is supplemented by partnerships with South African national and provincial Departments of Health, Social Development, Basic Education, and Correctional Services, plus corporate sponsorship (notably for a 12-month finance-graduate placement programme) and public donations. Services to beneficiaries are free of charge. The organisation is governed by a Board chaired by Dr. Memory Muturiki with Prof. Harry Hausler (MD) as CEO, Laurene Booyens (MD) as Chief Programme Officer, and a 1,001-5,000 employee workforce, and it operates as an implementing partner with academic (Johns Hopkins), community (SANPUD, OUT, TB Proof), UN (UNOPS), and consortium partners.
