Begun in 2004, The Global HIV/AIDS Initiative Nigeria (GHAIN) is the largest comprehensive HIV/AIDS project ever implemented in a single developing country. Funded by the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief through USAID, the five-year GHAIN project is rapidly 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 23,000 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 1,200 individuals in ART management, including pediatric ART; about 700 in PMTCT; over 1,100 in TB/HIB; and over 800 in palliative care
