Vietnam

AHF Vietnam launched its first HIV/AIDS care and treatment program in 2007 in Hai Phong City, in partnership with the Vietnam Administration of HIV/AIDS Control (VAAC) and the Hai Phong Provincial AIDS Control Center.

Building on this foundation, the program expanded to Ho Chi Minh City in 2012, collaborating with the Ho Chi Minh City HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Center to broaden access to comprehensive HIV services in southern Vietnam.

Since 2015, AHF Vietnam has strengthened partnerships with the Global Fund and the Ministry of Public Security, expanding its work nationwide with a focus on linking community-based health facilities and prisons.

AHF Vietnam enhances HIV care and treatment, promotes community-based testing and condom use, and advances prevention—particularly among key and high-risk populations. The organization operates in 17 provinces and cities, including Ha Noi (the capital), Ho Chi Minh, and Ca Mau.

In coordination with public health facilities, AHF Vietnam supports antiretroviral therapy (ART) across clinics, prisons, detoxification centers, and community-based organizations. Services include free HIV testing and counseling, condom distribution, treatment for opportunistic infections, and training programs to strengthen the capacity of healthcare workers and peer educators involved in HIV-TB care and treatment.

AHF Vietnam has received numerous commendations from the Vietnam Administration of HIV/AIDS Control, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and provincial People’s Committees in recognition of its significant contributions to public health and HIV/AIDS care across the country.
