HIV/AIDS
Jhpiego's unique contribution to global HIV/AIDS efforts has been to strengthen country and regional capacities to provide high-quality HIV-related health services using a standards-based management approach. Jhpiego has developed competency-based training programs for nurses, midwives, doctors and community-based providers in a broad range of HIV/AIDS services.
Since 2002, Jhpiego has worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its University Technical Assistance Program (UTAP) in support of the Global AIDS Program. Under this five-year program, we are partnering with The Johns Hopkins University Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Public Health to design, implement and monitor country-specific, comprehensive HIV/AIDS programs; and to serve as a technical resource for state-of-the-art training materials and HIV/AIDS care and treatment guidelines, protocols and standards.
