HIV and AIDS

During the last eighteen years, Tanzania has undertaken many
different approaches in attempting to slow the spread of HIV
infection and minimize its impact on individuals, families and the
society in general. Since 1983, when the first 3 AIDS cases in
Tanzania were reported, the HIV epidemic has progressed differently
in various population groups while national response has developed
itself into phases of programme activities led by the National AIDS
Control Programme since 1985.
The programme phases started with a two-year phase called Short
Term Plan (1985-1986). Subsequent phases were termed Medium Term
Plans lasting for five-year periods beginning with MTP-I
(1987-1991), followed by MTP-II (1992-1996) and now the MTP-III,
which was beginning in 1998. Through these programme phase
successful national responses have been identified, the most
effective ones being those touching on the major determinants of the
epidemic and addressing priority areas that make people vulnerable
to HIV infection.
