Partnering to Fight HIV/AIDS

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.
