Families Living with and Affected by HIV/AIDS
USAID’s interventions support people living with AIDS, including orphans and vulnerable children, and strengthen the capacity of families, communities, and those affected to respond to the AIDS crisis. HIV/AIDS is a critical element of other development initiatives, which is why USAID links our HIV/AIDS response in areas such as education, food and nutrition, economic strengthening, legal rights, maternal and child health, and family planning.
