CDC-Malawi supports use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for those at high risk of contracting HIV, HIV testing and counseling, prevention of HIV transmission, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and uptake of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC). In addition, CDCMalawi continues to support the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief's (PEPFAR) Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-Free, Mentored, and Safe (DREAMS) program to address social factors that put adolescent girls and young women at risk for HIV disease. TB preventive treatment (TPT) scale-up is another key initiative to promote epidemic control by reducing TB incidence among people living with HIV (PLHIV).
  
  CDC-Malawi's strategic focus is to collaborate with implementing partners (IPs) to:
