ICAP at Columbia University 336d ago

On July 29, 2025, ICAP presented the Grand Rounds — Responding to Advanced HIV Disease: Global Lessons from a Multi-Country Assessment. Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) is the late stage of HIV infection where the immune system is severely weakened, making the body vulnerable to opportunistic infections and certain cancers. People with AHD face an increased risk of serious illness and mortality, especially if they do not receive timely diagnosis and treatment. At the July Grand Rounds, experts from ICAP at Columbia University shared lessons learned from a multi-country assessment of AHD service delivery conducted in 2024. The presentations explored how ICAP-supported facilities in 14 resource-limited countries screen, diagnose, and treat AHD, and successes and challenges of implementing these services.
