PATH and our partners are fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis

Much progress has been made in efforts to control HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis (TB). The diseases, however, still threaten vast segments of the world’s population. PATH is using a combination of strategies to fight back against these diseases and reach the targets of Millennium Development Goal 6.

HIV and AIDS

Halting and eventually reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS will take work on all fronts: advancing technologies, changing behavior, and strengthening health care systems. Learn about our creative, community-based projects:

• Creative, community-level protection
• Improving the health of young people

Related health technologies:

• Preventing needle reuse and contamination
• Woman-initiated protection

Malaria

Bednets, insecticides, and medication are among simple yet effective malaria-control measures that could help save the 3,000 African children who die from malaria every day. Learn about our work to control malaria today, and our efforts to develop a vaccine for tomorrow:

• Solutions for today and tomorrow
• Malaria control
• Malaria vaccine

Related health technologies:

• Rapid test for malaria

Tuberculosis

Once on its way to eradication, tuberculosis (TB) still threatens millions, especially in places where high rates of AIDS or multidrug-resistant strains of TB erect an added barrier to its control. Learn about our work in combating tuberculosis:

• Stopping tuberculosis
• Telling the story of tuberculosis and HIV
