Program Expansion Supplement: Expanding Access and Enhancing Quality of Integrated HIV Confidential, Voluntary Client- and Provider-Initiated Testing and Counseling and Post-Test Services in the Republic of Botswana: The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has called for immediate, comprehensive and evidence based action to turn the tide of global HIV/AIDS. As called for by the PEPFAR Reauthorization Act of 2008, initiative goals over the period of 2009 through 2013 are to treat at least three million HIV infected people with effective combination anti-retroviral therapy (ART); care for twelve million HIV infected and affected persons, including five million orphans and vulnerable children; and prevent twelve million infections worldwide (3,12,12). To meet these goals and build sustainable local capacity, PEPFAR will support training of at least 140,000 new health care workers in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care. The Emergency Plan Five-Year Strategy for the five year period, 2009 - 2014 is available at the following Internet address: http://www.pepfar.gov.
