Description:The partnership between the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Government of Botswana (GOB) began in 1995 to strengthen tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control through public health research. In 2000, the partnership evolved to include HIV treatment and prevention services, laboratory services, and strategic information programs to maximize the quality, coverage, and impact of the GOB’s response to the HIV epidemic. Botswana demonstrates that epidemic control is achievable, as measured by the 2030 UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets: 95 percent of all people living with HIV know their HIV status; 95 percent of all people with diagnosed HIV receive sustained antiretroviral therapy (ART); and 95 percent of all people receiving ART have viral suppression. In 2021, results from the Fifth Botswana AIDS Impact Survey (BAIS V) showed Botswana has reached epidemic control, with 95-98-98 achieved for each UNAIDS target. The country further demonstrated an HIV-free generation is possible when it became the first high-burden country to attain WHO “silver tier” certification, given to countries that lowered mother-to-child transmission to less than five percent and provided prenatal care and ART to more than 90 percent of pregnant women.
