	abstract = {This case traces the development of the Academic Model for the Prevention and Treatment of HIV/AIDS (AMPATH), and its founding organization, the Indiana University {\textendash} Moi University (IU-MU) Partnership in Eldoret, Kenya. The case opens with a discussion of AMPATH{\textquoteright}s new Home-Based Counseling and Testing Program (HCT) and its prospects for improving HIV care in Western Kenya. After providing some background on the general political, economic, and health situation in Kenya, it follows the development of the IU-MU Partnership from 1990 to 2000, its subsequent entry into HIV care services through AMPATH in 2001, and AMPATH{\textquoteright}s rapid growth to become the largest provider of HIV services in Kenya. It then describes the organizational and operational characteristics of AMPATH and concludes with the organization wrestling with the opportunities and operational challenges that HCT presents.Teaching Note\&nbsp;available through Harvard Business Publishing.[[{"fid":"3307391","view_mode":"default","type":"media","attributes":{"height":"208","width":"277","alt":"AMPATH Center in Eldoret, Kenya","title":"AMPATH Center in Eldoret, Kenya","class":"media-element file-default"}}]]AMPATH Center in Eldoret, Kenya.
