Objectives:
The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) is implementing a national HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome) prevention and control program in accordance with the 「Prevention of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Act」 and the 「National action plan on HIV/AIDS prevention and control」. This report presents an overview of the national HIV/AIDS prevention and control program.
Methods:
Documents reviewed included 「The national action plan on HIV/AIDS prevention and control」, the HIV/AIDS management guidelines, and the implementation plans of the national HIV/AIDS prevention and control program.
Results:
To implement HIV prevention programs, seven AIDS prevention centers and one AIDS counseling center are being supported, and the "HIV screening and pre-exposure prophylaxis support program for key populations" is being implemented to prevent infection and facilitate early diagnosis. To improve quality of life and prevent onward transmission, various support programs for people living with HIV are being implemented, including financial assistance for medical and treatment expenses, integrated counseling and adherence support through the medical institution counseling program, long-term care services to maintain basic health rights and daily living, and shelters with emergency assistance to provide stability and support self-reliance for vulnerable groups.
