The China AIDS Initiative (CAI), led by the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (ADARC), is an alliance of Chinese and international organizations dedicated to helping China accelerate its response to HIV/AIDS. Their mission is to mobilize expertise and resources from its partner organizations to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. The project utilizes Rotary Foundation Matching Grant to test and identify HIV+ pregnant women in a highly-prevalent county, to administer and monitor antiretroviral drugs to mother and child, and to thereby reduce the transmission rate of HIV+ at birth from 33% to nearly 0%. The project serves an underserved rural “site” in Yunnan province, the epicenter of China AIDS epidemic. HIV in Yunnan is largely a disease of the rural poor and the problem is exacerbated by China’s dismantling of its rural medical system in the move toward privatization. The estimated length of time needed to complete the project is 3 years.
