Country Overview
CDC partnered with the Government of Tajikistan in 1995 with the goal of strengthening the capacity to detect, prevent, and control disease and respond to public health threats in Central Asia. In 2010, CDC began implementing activities supported through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. To help Tajikistan achieve HIV epidemic control, CDC implements evidence-based demonstration programs to identify cost-effective modes of service delivery and expands HIV prevention and treatment services for high-risk populations. CDC supports the Ministry of Health in the following areas: HIV prevention, including Medication Assisted Treatment of opioid addiction; HIV counseling and testing; laboratory strengthening; HIV care and treatment; and strategic information systems.
