• Description:
  The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has had a long-standing partnership with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Ministry of Health (MOH) began in 2002. Since the launch of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2004, CDC has partnered with the Ministry of Health and others to rapidly expand and align to achieve UNAIDS 95-95-95 global targets: 95 percent of people living with HIV (PLHIV) to know their status, providing antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 95percent of those who know their status, and achieving 95 percent viral suppression for those on ART. CDC is adopting a patient-centered approach for all populations and strategically focusing on:
  
  • Scaling up HIV prevention and treatment programs to achieve sustained epidemic control through finding PLHIV, initiating and maintaining them on treatment, eliminating mother-tochild transmission, increasing viral load coverage, and increasing access and uptake of PreExposure Prophylaxis (PrEP).
  
  • Integration of HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) care and treatment programs.
  
  • Strengthening public health system: surveillance, health information systems, laboratory capacity, and health workforce development.
  
  • Strengthening Orphan and Vulnerable Children (OVC) interventions.
