Description:The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Malawi office has collaborated with the Government of Malawi's (GOM) Ministry of Health (MOH) and non-governmental organizations to implement evidence-based, high-impact HIV programs. CDC 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, CDC 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 promotes epidemic control by reducing TB incidence among people living with HIV (PLHIV). CDC's strategic focus in Malawi is to collaborate with implementing partners to:
• Build public health capacity and infrastructure, and
• Strengthen surveillance and health information systems
