  The partnership between the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Government of Tanzania (GOT) began in 2001. As a key implementer of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, CDC works with the Tanzanian government to build a sustainable, high-impact national HIV response program to accelerate progress towards the UNAIDS global targets to control the HIV epidemic.
  
  CDC collaborates with the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly, and Children (MOHCDGEC) in Zanzibar to support HIV testing, prevention, and treatment services, and to strengthen health systems. Current programmatic priorities include:
  
  • Scaling-up targeted testing strategies such as index testing,
  
  • Improving linkage of newly diagnosed people to care and retention of clients in care,
  
  • Adjusting the geographic focus of programmatic activities to better align with the HIV burden, and
  
  • Scaling-up TB preventive treatment (TPT) among people living with HIV (PLHIV).
