Mounting a successful response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic requires close collaboration among governments, non-governmental and multilateral organizations, with a recognition of the relative strengths and comparative advantages of each. The United States has played a lead role in providing financial and technical assistance in support of national governments' prevention efforts, conducting collaborative research and cooperating with other donor governments and multilateral organizations. Since the early 1980's, the United States has provided technical and financial support to over 70 countries in research and prevention programs. The United States' involvement builds upon its longstanding experience in health and development internationally, its collaboration with other donor governments, its extensive participation in the United Nations and multilateral system, its strong NGO/PVO community and its well-developed research capacity. The United States involvement in the international response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic is an example of the role of bilateral cooperation and demonstrates how it can complement the work of the host country, NGOs and multilateral organizations.
