treatment programs with a focus on 

same-day antiretroviral therapy (SD–

innovative approaches to ART 

adherence and participant retention; as 

well as HIV testing and counseling 

(HTC), and prevention programs that 

focus on pre-exposure prophylaxis 

(PrEP) and opioid substitution therapy 

(OST). The key focus of the project will 

be integration of the Republican AIDS 

Center’s granular site management 

project in PEPFAR-supported subnational units to the national scale to 

improve quality of provided services to 

PLHIV and institutionalize quality 

management system and incorporate 

into national HIV plan. 

The Republican AIDS Center (RAC) is 

in a unique position to conduct this 

work in the Kyrgyz Republic, as it is the 

leading organization responsible for 

National HIV Program implementation 

under the Ministry of Health and Social 

Development. In the Kyrgyz Republic, 

the Ministry of Health and Social 

Development has mandated the RAC to 

lead and coordinate the national 

response to HIV/AIDS, including 

developing and regulating national HIV 

guidelines and policies.
