FHI 360 is connecting research to practice utilizing rights-based and integrated approaches. In an era of limited resources, HIV prevention, care and treatment efforts need to focus on the smartest investments. This means investing in programs that can have the greatest impact in halting HIV transmission and turning back the epidemic.
From a public health perspective, the effective use of resources requires focusing on key populations who have the highest level of HIV infection and tackling the barriers that discourage and prevent them from accessing health systems and services. These populations are broadly defined as sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender people and people who inject drugs.
FHI 360 leads the Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) project, an eight-year (2019-2027) global initiative funded by PEPFAR and USAID. EpiC provides strategic technical assistance and direct service delivery to achieve control of the HIV epidemic among key and priority populations and strengthen global health security.
