Partnership to Fight HIV/AIDS in Thailand

Through PEPFAR, Thailand received $7.1 million in fiscal year (FY) 2007, and $6.5 million in FY 2008 to support HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care programs. PEPFAR plans to provide $5.5 million in FY 2009.¹

Progress achieved in Thailand through direct PEPFAR support during FY 2009:^{2, 3}

• 7,100 individuals receiving antiretroviral treatment
• 14,400 HIV-positive individuals who received care and support (including TB/HIV)
• N/A orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) receiving support
• 47,800 individuals receiving counseling and testing (in settings other than PMTCT)
• 0 individuals reached with community outreach HIV/AIDS prevention activities that promote abstinence and/or being faithful
• 15,500 individuals reached with community outreach HIV/AIDS prevention activities that promote correct and consistent use of condoms and related interventions
• 3,971,000 USG condoms shipped from calendar year 2004 through 2009
• Support for services for prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) is provided to national programs rather than through direct site-specific support. For an explanation of PEPFAR’s transition to reporting only direct program results, please see http://www.pepfar.gov/2009results/.

¹ FY 2009 funding level is planned and is subject to change.

² PEPFAR defines direct support as data that captures the number of individuals receiving prevention, care, and treatment services through service delivery sites or providers directly supported by U.S. Government (USG) interventions or activities at the point of service delivery. An intervention or activity is considered to be direct support if it can be associated with counts of uniquely identified individuals receiving prevention, care, or treatment services at a unique program or service delivery point benefiting from the intervention or activity. The indicators for this program area in effect in FY 2009, as well as the Next Generation Indicators currently in force for PEPFAR's second phase, may be found at www.pepfar.gov/guidance/.

³ "N/A" means that the U.S. Government did not support programs.
