“U.S. agencies that work to fight HIV this week began a five-year effort with Malawi’s government to improve health care for Malawians infected with the virus,” VOA News reports. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is leading the effort alongside health officials in Malawi, with funding from PEPFAR and the CDC, the news service notes, adding, “The program — targeting seven districts across Malawi — aims to build on the country’s success in combating HIV/AIDS.” Charles Lyons, president and CEO of the Glaser Foundation, “says over the next five years, the program will … seek to counsel one million Malawians, test and provide medical male circumcision to 50,000 adult men — which will help avert 15,000 new infections among them and their partners — offer HIV testing to about 400,000 pregnant women, as well as providing life-long ARV treatment for 25,000 women expected to be found positive,” VOA writes (Masina, 3/29).
