SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, July 30, 2006. Since 2005, the Batey Relief Alliance developed, in collaboration with the USAID, Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative and the Dominican Ministry of Health’s Digecitts, a comprehensive HIV/AIDS project delivering free testing, medical consults, medical services, ARVs, pre and post psychoemotional assistance, nutrition and clothing for impoverished AIDS sufferers, orphaned/vulnerable children and pregnant women living inside the bateyes of the Monte Plata province.
