Our work also includes the prevention, identification, and management of HIV-related comorbidities and other complex health conditions.

Through direct, on-site training, as well as distance learning methods, the Pacific AETC – HIAPI bridges the enormous distances of the region to strengthen HIV clinical care, testing, and prevention efforts.
