Description:In 1991, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started work in Uganda focused on HIV and AIDS research. An official country office was established in 2000. With the launch of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2003, Uganda became a focus country for the delivery of high-quality HIV and TB services. Currently, CDC supports Uganda’s Ministry of Health (MOH) and numerous implementing partners (almost all of them local institutions) to strengthen HIV/TB prevention and control efforts and public health emergency preparedness and response. Using an integrated service delivery model, CDC focuses on finding more people living with HIV (PLHIV), linking and maintaining PLHIV to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and scaling up viral load testing to monitor for viral suppression. CDC also supports TB diagnosis, preventive therapy, and treatment among PLHIV.
