The KPIF project is aimed at building the capacity of Key Population Civil Society Organizations (KP-CSOs) to deliver valued and interlinking HIV prevention, care, and treatment services to key populations in line with the Zambian national HIV response.

Key populations served by KPIF include men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender persons, female sex workers (FSW) and people who inject drugs (PWID).

The project is supported by the U.S. Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and is being implemented in partnership with the Zambian Ministry of Health and KP-CSOs.

The general objective of this program is to implement a surveillance system that involves conducting rapid point-of-care (POC) testing to detect recent HIV infection as part of routine HIV clinical diagnostic services.

• i. Implement a recent HIV infection surveillance system in Zambia, including integration of recent infection testing into routine HIV testing services;
• ii. Estimate the proportion of clients with a recent HIV infection and characterize their demographic characteristics; and
• iii. Identify geographies associated with high rates of recent infection.

CIRKUITS is a targeted community intervention which seeks to accelerate epidemic control among Key and Underserved populations in Zambia by creating a novel approach to link communities and facilities into a seamless continuum of HIV prevention and care for all key and priority populations.

The project is a cooperative agreement between CDC and University of Maryland to support Ministry of Health (MOH), with CIDRZ as sub-awardee.
