FORUD is sensitive of the existence of HIV/AIDS and its impact in our communities putting into account that this is a cross cutting challenge locally and internationally. FORUD thus integrates HIV/AIDS in its entire sectors not only for the communities where we serve but also at the work place

It’s important to note that HIV/AIDS is unprejudiced and gender insensitive. The virus poses a big challenge to the entire community with regard that the prevalence rate stands at 7% and second largest cause of death and orphaned generation after malaria among both children and adults in the country. In regard to HIV/AIDS FORUD promotes safer sex through Abstinence, Being Faithful and use of Condoms (ABC) in case of any act of sex.

Most importantly FORUD encourages Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) and seeking treatment for those who are tested positive. Other safe life practices we encourage include campaign for immunization of children and treatment of any other illness like malaria. For us to do the above we uphold the values of equality (gender), Unity, Love, Justice. Peace, honesty and happiness for all.
