Abstract

The human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) response has made significant strides in preventing the spread of the epidemic globally. Many of the achievements could not have happened without the resilience of the people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) community, the funding and technical support of the donor community including public/private partnerships, the tenacity of the Governments (national response), the relentless outreach of the Non Governmental Organization (NGO) community and their networks, the untiring efforts of health care providers, and the activism of grassroots movements.
