These collaborations increase the fundamental understanding of HIV transmission and provide an evaluative basis for prevention and intervention success. The current HIV/AIDS epidemic is devastating. Militaries, in particular, have been identified as a high-risk population. In order to target this population, the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), San Diego, California, under the oversight of the Navy Surgeon General, has been tasked to serve as the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Executive Agent for the DoD HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP).DHAPP has successfully engaged over 80 countries in efforts to combat HIV/AIDS among their respective military services.

This BAA allows DHAPP to assist countries where militaries are not funded under PEPFAR. DHAPP’s goal is to maximize program impact by focusing on the drivers of the epidemic specific to the military, and to support the development of interventions and programs that address these issues. DHAPP works with countries militaries 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 countrys need for prevention, care and/or treatment of their HIV/AIDS situation based on an assessment of the countrys epidemic, and more specifically, in that countrys military.
