Description:The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began working in Senegal in 2001, supporting the HIV/Sexually Transmitted Infection sentinel surveillance program. Since 2010 through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), CDC has continued to support Senegal’s Ministry of Health and Social Action (MHSA) to build a sustainable and reliable national HIV surveillance system by developing a functioning HIV case reporting and surveillance system, strengthening the quality of routine prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV data and on-site HIV rapid testing.
Senegal’s HIV epidemic is concentrated with a HIV prevalence of less than < 1% in the general population but very high (up to 20%) among certain key populations such as female sex workers and men who have sex with men.
CDC provides technical assistance to Senegal’s MHSA to build laboratory capacity, and implementation of an effective laboratory quality management system (QMS). CDC’s efforts include external quality assurance (EQA), rapidly responding to challenges and gaps in HIV testing, and ensuring access to high-quality HIV diagnostics, including early infant diagnosis (EID) and viral load (VL) testing.
