Since its registration with Myanmar’s Ministry of Home Affairs in 2013 and its partnership with the Ministry of Health in 2014, AHF Myanmar has expanded its HIV services significantly. Initially supporting two HIV hospitals in Yangon, the program now operates across several regions, including ART centers in Yangon, Myawaddy, and Bago. AHF Myanmar’s office in Yangon coordinates with government hospitals and the Ministry of Health’s HIV/STI team to provide comprehensive antiretroviral treatment and care, focusing on reducing new infections, lowering AIDS-related deaths, and improving the lives of people living with HIV.

AHF Myanmar delivers high-quality HIV care by collaborating with partners to implement comprehensive treatment plans that include patient compliance guidance, consultations, and improving data management. The program also emphasizes peer-based voluntary counseling and testing (VCT), ensuring access to testing for key populations, such as bar workers and MSM. From January to December 2023, AHF Myanmar conducted 36,391 rapid HIV tests, identifying 1,364 new HIV-positive cases, with a 6% positivity rate. Mobile outreach teams play a critical role in reaching high-risk groups, offering free testing and linking positive cases to treatment.

In addition to testing and treatment, AHF Myanmar focuses on policy advocacy and public awareness initiatives. The organization supports the revision of HIV prevention policies alongside government departments and collaborates with community organizations to conduct educational campaigns and promote condom use in public areas.
