Vietnam
Reauthorized on July 30, 2008, the U.S. is continuing its commitment to global AIDS in the amount of $39 billion for HIV/AIDS bilateral programs and contributions to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Working in partnership with host nations, the initiative will support antiretroviral treatment for at least 3 million people, prevention of 12 million new HIV infections, and care and support for 12 million people, including 5 million orphans and vulnerable children. Vietnam became the 15th PEPFAR focus country in June 2004. The 15 focus countries collectively represent approximately 50 percent of HIV infections worldwide. Under PEPFAR, Vietnam received more than $17.3 million in fiscal year (FY) 2004, nearly $27.6 million in FY 2005, approximately $34.1 million in FY 2006, and $65.8 million in FY 2007 to support comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care programs. PEPFAR is providing nearly $88.9 million in FY 2008.
