Country Overview
CDC’s work in Senegal dates back to 2001 when it began supporting the country’s HIV/Sexually Transmitted Infection sentinel surveillance program. Since 2010, CDC has also supported the Ministry of Health’s HIV/AIDS control efforts. CDC works with the Ministry to strengthen its national HIV surveillance system for data collection on key populations, such as female sex workers and men who have sex with men, and to improve the data quality for prevention of mother-to-child transmission and on-site HIV rapid testing.
