ABSTRACT
In 1999, Médicins sans Frontières started an HIV/AIDS programme in Ukraine, a country with an estimated 410,000 people with HIV (1.4% prevalence), including 53,000 in urgent need of antiretroviral therapy. Between 1999 and 2004, a comprehensive HIV/AIDS programme was implemented in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health in AIDS centres in Odessa, Mikolaev and Simferopol. Initial activities included prevention and treatment advocacy campaigns, which were later followed by prevention of mother-to-child transmission, treatment of opportunistic infections, antiretroviral therapy for infants and adults and palliative care. This programme has served as a model and has led to meaningful improvements in HIV/AIDS care in Ukraine. It demonstrates that adequate care for patients with HIV or AIDS is possible in countries like Ukraine.
