CDC Global AIDS Program support for Nicaragua began through its Central American
Regional Office. In 2008, the Global AIDS Program will provide direct support to
build country surveillance capacity. These and all CDC's global HIV/AIDS
activities are a part of the unified US Government effort to turn the tide
against the epidemic, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which was
announced in 2003.
