Partnering to Fight HIV/AIDS
The CDC Global AIDS Program (GAP) Brazil office opened in 2001. CDC, in
collaboration with other US Government agencies, supports the Brazilian Ministry
of Health in the areas of monitoring and evaluation, surveillance, monitoring
systems for prevention of mother to child HIV transmission, and training for
rapid HIV testing and counseling. CDC also supports efforts for Brazil-
Lusophone Africa collaboration.
In 2003, US President George W. Bush announced the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and CDC GAP Brazil became a part of this unified US Government effort to turn the tide against the epidemic.
