ABSTRACTAim: Since 2003 Kilimanjaro Aids Control Association (KACA) has collaborated with the Mawenzi Hospital in Moshi, in order to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS. The aim of this study was to investigate Mawenzi Hospital’s staff’s views about KACA and its work.   Method: Eight semi structured interviews were performed with nurses and physicians. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed by a qualitative manifest content analysis according to Graneheim and Lundman (2004).  Results: All the informants mentioned that KACA is an important stakeholder needed in the collaboration with the government to prevent HIV transmission. They also mentioned that the main problems KACA struggles with is lack of recourses, insufficient HIV tests and lack of information to their clients. KACA was described as an accessible non governmental organization (NGO) working as a bridge from society, channeling HIV positive clients to Mawenzi Hospital. Conclusion: This study confirms that KACA is considered doing a good job and is appreciated by the nurses and physicians at the Mawenzi Hospital. For KACA this may be important information to maintain their prevention work. The problems presented by the informants should be taken under consideration when planning the future work.
