Partnering to Fight HIV/AIDS
The CDC Global AIDS Program (GAP) Haiti office opened in 2002. Since then, CDC has
focused its efforts on supporting the Government of Haiti in preventing the
transmission of HIV/AIDS, treatment and care of those who are already infected
with HIV, increasing laboratory capacity and building health care
infrastructure.
In 2003, US President George W. Bush announced the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Haiti was designated a focus country, and CDC GAP Haiti became a part of this unified US Government effort to turn the tide against the epidemic.
