The Perinatal HIV Research Unit
The Perinatal HIV Research Unit (PHRU), established in 1996, is one of the largest AIDS research centres in Africa. The early research focus on prevention of mother to child transmission has expanded and PHRU now leads studies on many different aspects of HIV prevention, treatment and care including medical and social research.
PHRU is a research unit of the University of the Witwatersrand, directed by Prof Glenda Gray and Prof James McIntyre. The unit is based in Soweto, South Africa, at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, one of the world's biggest hospitals.

Khutšo Kurhula
Resources for HIV/Aids care in primary health facilities
Since 2004 a wellness programme has been providing the best possible care to people living with HIV/Aids in the Greater Tzaneen district of Limpopo, one of the poorest provinces of South Africa. Known as Khutšo Kurhula ("peace" in both Xitsonga and Sepedi), the programme provides comprehensive HIV/Aids care at the primary health-care clinic level, carried out by nurses in cooperation with visiting doctors and people living with HIV/Aids, and in doing so preparing the clinics for antiretroviral rollout.
A large number of valuable tools and resources developed by the Khutšo Kurhula team over the years are now available online for download. View summaries, download the tools and find out more about Khutšo Kurhula.
