The Global HIV/AIDS Initiative Nigeria (GHAIN) is the largest comprehensive HIV/AIDS project ever implemented in a single developing country. Begun in 2004 and funded by the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief through USAID, the five-year GHAIN project is strengthening and expanding a wide range of HIV/AIDS services to support the government of Nigeria's response to the epidemic.

GHAIN continues to exceed goals and objectives in Nigeria.  Since GHAIN's inception, it has

  • Supported 79 HIV counseling and testing sites, which have served more than 1 million people
  • Supported 50 comprehensive ART sites with over 53,000 people receiving ART
  • Provided 67 PMTCT sites with a complete course of antiretroviral prophylaxis to over 5,000 pregnant women
  • Offered palliative care to more than 200,000 people
  • Trained more than 2,400 healthcare workers in ART management, including pediatric ART
  • Trained about 700 healthcare workers in PMTCT, more than 1,100 in TB/HIB, and more than 800 in palliative care
