Factsheet: HARiS - HIV and AIDS Response Indicator Survey 2016 for Injecting Drug User. Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health. (2017)
 |
In Hong Kong, the number of HIV cases transmitted through injecting drug use (IDU) has remained low up till now and contributed to less than 5% of all reported cases cumulatively. However, the potential risk of cluster outbreak and rapid upsurge of infection among the IDU population is always a concern. To monitor HIV-related risk behaviours and access to HIV testing services among IDU, this population has been included as one of the four at-risk populations in the HIV/AIDS Response Indicator Survey (HARiS) implemented since 2013. The fourth round of survey was conducted in 2016 via commissioning to the Stanley Ho Centre for Emerging Infectious Disease, School of Public Health and Primary Care of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

A Supplement on the Process of Formulating the Recommended HIV/AIDS Strategies for Hong Kong (2017-2021). Hong Kong Advisory Council on AIDS. (2017)
 |
The objectives of the Strategies tie in with UNAIDS’ "90-90-90 treatment targets" which call for 90 per cent of HIV-infected persons to know their status, 90 per cent of the HIV-diagnosed to access treatment and 90 percent of those on treatment to have suppressed viral loads by the end of 2020. Another target set by UNAIDS, "90% of key populations to have access to HIV combination prevention services", is also incorporated, resulting in four clear and quantifiable "90" objectives to be achieved by the end of 2020.
