The AETC Program supports a national network of regional and several national centers that conduct state-of-the-art HIV/AIDS clinical consultation, education, and training programs. The AETCs focus on improving the care of people living with HIV/ AIDS by increasing the number of healthcare providers who are able to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage persons with HIV infection and to decrease HIV transmission by promoting risk reduction.
