The (USA) President's Emergency Plan for Russian AIDS relief
2008 Country Profile: Russia
National HIV prevalence rate among adults (ages 15 to 49): 1.1 percent
Adults and children (ages 0-49) living with HIV at the end of 2005: 940,000
AIDS deaths (adults and children) in 2005: 22,000-56,000

Recognizing the global HIV/AIDS pandemic as one of the greatest health
challenges of our time, President George W. Bush announced the President?s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Emergency Plan/PEPFAR) in 2003 ? the largest
international health initiative in history by one nation to address a single
disease. The United States is changing the paradigm for development,
rejecting the flawed ?donor-recipient? mentality and replacing it with an
ethic of true partnership. These partnerships are having a global impact and
transforming the face of our world today.
Partnership to Fight HIV/AIDS
In Russia, the Emergency Plan supports the fight against HIV/AIDS by
partnering with a broad range of governmental and non-governmental
organizations, including those representing people living with HIV/AIDS.
These partnerships are promoting the ?Three Ones? principles:
a.. To establish and strengthen one national HIV/AIDS coordinating
authority;
b.. To develop and implement one national HIV/AIDS plan; and
c.. To develop and implement one HIV/AIDS monitoring and evaluation
system.
The ?Three Ones? serve as a framework for U.S. Government support of
integrated, comprehensive and evidence-based HIV/AIDS programs in Russia.
