Promoteurs Objectif Zerosida

Promoteurs Objectif Zerosida (POZ) is a non-profit organization and foundation based in Haiti that works to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. It has been registered to receive federal grant awards since 2005.

Promoteurs Objectif Zerosida has primarily served as a sub-awardee partner on federal grants managed by Georgetown University for the TIDE Haiti project. Through these sub-awards from 2021-2024, POZ operates a 24/7 toll-free hotline for people living with HIV to provide stigma-free counseling, education on HIV prevention and treatment, facilitate reporting of discrimination at clinics, and connect callers to psychologists or support groups as needed. The hotline offers services in multiple languages and handles issues like anxiety, rape, and other traumatic incidents. POZ ensures trained counselors staff the hotline, maintains caller confidentiality, and generates reports on call data. Additionally, POZ educates callers on HIV, PrEP, COVID-19, and promotes services offered by the TIDE Haiti project. The organization provides psychological support to rape victims, new HIV cases, and others in need of mental health assistance. POZ also helps clients use a facility scoring app related to the project.
