If you are looking for specific types of physical help, you can find the following through the organizations listed above:
Treatment Access: Kenya's Ministry of Health, through NASCOP, ensures that ARVs are accessible at most public health facilities and designated "Centers of Excellence."
Home-Based Care: NEPHAK and AMPATH specialize in community volunteers who visit patients at home if they are too weak to travel or need help with medication adherence.
Nutritional Support: Many support groups at the village and county level provide food baskets or nutritional supplements for those whose medications require a specific diet or who are struggling with weight loss.
Integrated Care: Many facilities now use an "Integrated Model," meaning you can get your HIV care, TB screening, and general check-ups all in one room to reduce travel time and stigma.
