Amid the increasingly complex evolution of HIV transmission and the shifting patterns among high-risk groups, localities such as Nghe An and Hai Phong are strengthening the role of community networks and inter-sectoral coordination to expand access to services, sustain treatment, and work toward the goal of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.

For 20 years, the cooperation program between the United and Vietnam on HIV/AIDS prevention and control helped more than 144,000 Vietnamese people living with HIV to receive antiretroviral drugs through Social Health Insurance, funded by domestic resources.

Many models across Vietnam initiated practical effects in helping sex workers to return to the workforce, getting back on their feet to lead a more stable life.
