As a global leader in the response to HIV and AIDS, FHI 360 is focused on ensuring that the ambitious 90-90-90 global targets to help end the AIDS epidemic become a reality.
Ensuring vulnerable groups are not left behind
About 40 to 50 percent of all new HIV infections occur among key populations — men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers and people who inject drugs. Working with our partners, we are meeting an urgent need to ensure these groups receive the high-quality, stigma-free, rights-based HIV prevention, care and treatment services they need and deserve. The LINKAGES project works in more than 20 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean to improve access to, and increase enrollment and retention in, care and treatment services.
Stepping up the pace
We are advancing research and working to ensure that scientific breakthroughs are put into practice and rapidly reach the people who need them most. FHI 360 serves as the leadership and operations center for the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN), a worldwide clinical trials network that brings investigators, ethicists, community and other partners together to test the safety and efficacy of interventions that prevent the acquisition and transmission of HIV. We are also leading Optimizing Prevention Technology Introduction on Schedule (OPTIONS), an international, cross-disciplinary consortium that has developed a knowledge-sharing website on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to bring together advocates and experts to accelerate global progress.

Bringing services to the doorstep in Nigeria
In Nigeria, FHI 360 engaged government and communities in 29 local government areas to bring antiretroviral therapy services directly to families and communities.
- More than 500,000 individuals received access to HIV testing and counseling.
- 32,000 pregnant women received interventions for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
- 9,000 eligible clients received antiretroviral therapy within community settings, resulting in a 53 percent increase in uptake of services in the 29 local government areas.
