The CDC ASPIRE Project, funded by PEPFAR through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a five-year initiative aimed at achieving sustained epidemic control of HIV in Nigeria. EHAI, in partnership with the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria (IHVN), implements the project in 14 health facilities across Nasarawa State (Nasarawa Eggon, Wamba, and Akwanga LGAs) and two facilities in Kwali LGA, FCT.
The ASPIRE Project focuses on strengthening laboratory capacity, improving HIV testing, and providing treatment and support to both people living with HIV (PLHIV) and those unaware of their status. The goal is to enroll treatment-naive individuals into care while enhancing the continuum of care for those already on treatment.
The ASPIRE Project aims to bridge gaps in HIV care by ensuring that all individuals, whether living with HIV or needing to be tested, receive timely treatment and support. Through its integrated approach, the project seeks to significantly reduce the burden of HIV in Nigeria.
