PEPFAR employs several key strategies to combat HIV/AIDS:
1. Treatment: Ensuring widespread availability of ART to improve the quality of life for people living with HIV and reduce viral load, which decreases the risk of transmission.
2. Prevention: Implementing evidence-based prevention interventions, such as voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and behavioral change communication to reduce new infections.
3. Care and Support: Providing comprehensive care and support services, including psychosocial support, nutritional support, and treatment for opportunistic infections, to improve health outcomes for people living with HIV.
4. Monitoring and Evaluation: Utilizing robust data collection and analysis methods to monitor program performance, identify gaps, and inform strategic planning and decision-making.
