Recent WHO-CDC Initiatives
CDC is collaborating with WHO’s Integrated Management of Adult and Adolescent Illness team on the adaptation and development of intervention and training materials for a comprehensive prevention intervention for HIV-infected individuals.
CDC sits on the STOP TB Infection Control Working Group, which develops policies and guidelines, and implements infection control practices in HIV care and TB clinical settings.
CDC has provided critical technical support in developing polices and guidelines, and tools/technical products addressing: ART treatment regimens; HIV care and support; antenatal clinic sentinel surveillance; ARV drug resistance surveillance; Laboratory methods for HIV surveillance; ART monitoring; and HIV/AIDS case reporting definitions.
CDC is working with WHO to develop guidelines on how to best implement overall quality assurance of HIV serology, CD4 counts, and viral load. This work is being done through consensus building with countries in Africa.
