Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The U.S. Government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), announces a new award to reduce HIV prevalence in Mozambique by combating stigma that prevents many from seeking testing and treatment services. This five-year activity improves health among key populations that are at high risk of contracting and spreading HIV. These populations \u2013 men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, sex workers, people who inject drugs (PWID), and people in prisons and other closed settings \u2013 also suffer from discrimination and a lack of social status, hampering their access to quality HIV services.<\/p>\n

The HIV Key and Priority Populations project (PASSOS+) is funded by the U.S. President\u2019s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It will train and support health workers to provide these key populations with high-quality and stigma-free HIV prevention and treatment services. PASSOS+ will also work to increase referral services, map and monitor services provided to these populations, and decrease structural and social barriers to health services. The objective of this program is to overcome those barriers so that quality services are available at the community level and health facility level \u2013 so that no Mozambican is underserved. PASSOS+ is implemented by a consortium of Mozambican non-governmental organizations, led by the Centro Internacional de Sau\u0301de Reproductiva em Moc\u0327ambique (ICRH-M), and will work with the Ministry of Health and the National AIDS Council (CNCS).<\/p>\n

USAID is investing almost $35 million into this project over five years. The U.S. Government provides more than $400 million in annual assistance towards fighting the HIV\/AIDS epidemic in Mozambique through PEPFAR. With this support, Mozambique\u2019s national HIV response has made incredible progress in getting people living with HIV to access and sustain treatment. As a result, the country is on track to achieve the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goal by 2025. Since its launch in 2003, PEPFAR has worked closely with the Government of Mozambique to offer quality HIV\/ AIDS awareness, prevention, testing and treatment Programs to the Mozambican people.<\/p>\n

.The U.S. President\u2019s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)<\/b> is the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history, enabled by strong bipartisan support across ten U.S. congresses and four presidential administrations, and through the American people\u2019s generosity. PEPFAR shows the power of what is possible through compassionate, cost-effective, accountable, and transparent American foreign assistance. For more information about PEPFAR\u2019s work, visit www.state.gov\/pepfar. In Mozambique, PEPFAR is implemented by the U.S. Embassy through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), and the U.S. Peace Corps.<\/p>\n

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)<\/b> leads the U.S. Government\u2019s international development and disaster assistance through partnerships and investments that save lives, reduce poverty, strengthen democratic governance, and help people emerge from humanitarian crises.
