DoD HIV/AID Prevention Program's (DHAPP) objective, through the PEPFAR program, is to save lives, prevent HIV infections, and accelerate progress toward achieving HIV/AIDS epidemic control and to support the development of interventions and programs in military health systems that address these issues. DHAPP works with militaries of foreign countries to devise plans based on the following process: Meet with key partners in country to determine provisional major program areas and other technical assistance needs. Adapt DHAPP support to a country’s need for prevention, care and/or treatment of its HIV/AIDS situation based on an assessment of the country’s epidemic, and more specifically, in that country’s military. Strengthen the military capacity for ownership and behavioral changes over the long term. Consider program design by leveraging assets with other country partners who have/had successful prevention, care, and/or treatment efforts. Focus on prevention, care and/or treatment impact aligned with national implementation plans. Implement and monitor programs to ensure accountability and sustainability. Countries and their militaries need strong evidenced based HIV.
The Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP), operating through the PEPFAR initiative, is designed to support military health systems and organizations working to combat HIV/AIDS on a global scale. This program is for entities partnering with foreign militaries to develop and implement evidence-based HIV prevention, care, and treatment interventions. DHAPP focuses on saving lives, preventing HIV infections, and achieving epidemic control within military populations. The program supports capacity building within foreign military health systems, technical assistance, behavioral change initiatives, and sustainable program implementation. Organizations applying should be prepared to work collaboratively with country partners, assess local HIV/AIDS epidemics within military contexts, and align efforts with national implementation plans. The program emphasizes long-term ownership, accountability, and leveraging successful models from other country partnerships. This is an ideal opportunity for international health organizations, military health partnerships, and HIV/AIDS prevention specialists committed to strengthening military capacity and advancing global health security through evidence-based interventions.
