Senior US and Vietnamese officials Wednesday attended the opening of an outpatient clinic for people with HIV/AIDS in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 9, the US Embassy said in a statement.

The clinic will provide a range of services, including counseling, testing and home care to HIV and AIDS patients.

It is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which also supports a similar clinic in HCMC’s District 6.

The District 6 clinic, which opened in 2005, has provided counseling and testing to 3,991 people, antiretroviral treatment services to 824 and care and support services to 1,825 adults and 500 orphans and vulnerable children.
