Description:
S T R A T E G I C F O C U S Since 2003, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-Central American Regional Office partners with the Ministries of Health (MOHs) and the Council of Health Ministers of Central America to respond to the HIV epidemic in the region by: (1) strengthening strategic information and prevention strategies targeting key populations (KP); and (2) improving the quality of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) treatment services to people living with HIV (PLHIV). CDC supports the countries to achieve the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) fast track 90-90-90 targets. CDC also supports these countries to achieve the World Health Organization (WHO) End TB Strategy in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Agenda. CDC remains committed to working closely with the MOHs, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Global Fund, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), UNAIDS, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), civil society, and other key partners in expanding effective HIV testing and counseling strategies, linking newly diagnosed individuals to treatment, intensifying TB case finding and preventive treatment among PLHIV, conducting TB infection control assessments in HIV clinics and hospitals, implementing Test and Start differentiated service delivery models, and strengthening laboratory, health information, and surveillance systems in the region.
