The Global Fund supports the Azerbaijan National Strategic Plan for Prevention and Control of HIV/AIDS through with a financial grant: scaling up HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infection prevention programs for the most vulnerable groups, including young people, injecting drug users, commercial sex workers, prisoners, mobile populations and men who have sex with men; strengthening treatment, support and care for those affected, including home-based care and support; and using a multi-sectoral approach to strengthen the institutional capacity of Azerbaijan to respond more effectively to HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections, including increasing laboratory capacity and ensuring blood safety. Activities include condom distribution, HIV prevention education for students, outreach services for commercial sex workers, needle exchange services for injecting drug users, training in diagnosis and treatment for lab technicians, nurses and doctors and training of non-medical staff in the delivery of home-based care. The Global Fund was created to finance a dramatic turn-around in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. These diseases kill over 6 million people each year, and the numbers are growing.
