FHI and partners work to reduce stigma and integrate prevention, care and treatment in Vietnam. View efforts underway in the words of Country Director Steve Mills. (June 2006)
SEPTEMBER 2009 — The family-centered care program at the Tân Châu outpatient clinic, funded by PEPFAR and supported by Family Health International, took on the challenge of changing the life of an 8-year-old girl and those of her family for the better. 
OCTOBER 2008 — Vi, 7, is sad when her mother, Hang, is sick and in pain. Hang, HIV-positive and widowed at 28, lives in Van Don district, Quang Ninh province, Vietnam. Once frequently ill, Hang often found it difficult to care for Vi, despite her family's support. Now, however, Hang has access to care, support and treatment through an FHI-supported outpatient clinic for HIV-related palliative care and treatment. 
SEPTEMBER 2008 — In Vietnam, family-centered care means parents, caregivers, and children affected by HIV/AIDS have access to comprehensive care provided by the same staff in one facility at the same time. 
JULY 2009 — The Viet Nam HIV/AIDS Estimates and Projections 2007-2012 is the result of a second round of data analysis on which the Ministry of Health collaborated with national and international partners, and was prepared to provide colleagues with information on the process and methodologies of projections, and the most up-to-date HIV/AIDS data in Viet Nam to 2012.
AUGUST 2008 — Through the Analysis and Advocacy (A2) Project, FHI/Vietnam and the Health Policy Initiative have assessed the current epidemic and in this report suggest new strategies for controlling the further spread of HIV in Ho Chi Minh City and beyond.
AUGUST 2008 —These publications present a series of dialogs with high-risk populations that provide a context for understanding continued risk behaviors and limited exposure to prevention interventions. Health educators and VCT staff interviewed female sex workers, injecting drug users, and men who have sex with men to determine their risk perceptions, barriers to access, and recommendations for improved access to health services and voluntary counseling and testing.
