USAID seeks to increase the availability of antiretroviral therapy in developing countries, allowing people infected with HIV/AIDS to live longer and more productive lives. Building on established clinical programs, USAID supports interventions that provide antiretroviral drugs and improve access to quality treatment services through training health care providers and strengthening health facilities. Activities also include monitoring ARV resistance, enhancing supply chain capacity, long-term human resource development, establishing treatment protocols, and advancing supportive policy initiatives.
