She conducts healtheducation programmes to reach outto mothers and young women in thesemi-rural community where earlymarriages are common.Ebi Patrick, a young mother of fourwho was pregnant with her fifth child,had heard about the outreach Sampowas conducting and volunteeredfor HIV testing. Ebi Patrick’s resultscame back positive. At first Ebi didnot believe the results, but Sampoencouraged her to take a follow-uptest, which confirmed her HIV status.For Sampo, the priority was clear get Ebi into treatment and preventtransmission of the virus to herunborn baby. She enrolled Ebi inantenatal care and antiretroviraltherapy at the health facility. Ebi alsobegan the “adherence counseling” tomake sure she stayed on treatment.When Ebi went into labour, sheknew what to do. She went straightto a health center so her baby girlcould immediately be given the drugNevirapine. Today, Ebi remains ontreatment, and she was ecstatic whenher baby’s early infant test came backHIV-negative six months after she wasborn.“I am very, very happy for the motherand that the baby’s results came backunreactive,” said Sampo.smile. “I was told that nothing wouldhappen to me or my baby if I took mymedication.

About 1,000 HIV-positivewomen who knew their status throughthe programme have been linked tocomprehensive HIV care.While much of Pact’s work to stopthe spread of HIV has been publiclyfunded, private-sector partnershipslike the one with Chevron have playeda critical part in Pact’s response to theepidemic – both in accelerating impactand in making sure interventions aresuccessful.“I am so happy because my baby isnot infected,” said Ebi with a wideHaving dealt with other cases beforeEbi’s, Sampo knew support and followup were critical to ensure a successfuloutcome. However, Ebi’s case was abit more complex. She was also oneof four wives. Ebi couldn’t believe herHIV status and had many questionsbegging for answers. How did sheget infected? Who passed it on toher? How long has she had the virus?How would her husband react? Whatwould the community and the otherwives say? What should she do now?Ebi Patrick and her babychevron in Nigeria11
