The Pacific Regional HIV Strategy 2009-2013 identifies five themes and presents strategies to meet the goal of reducing the spread and impact of HIV and other STIs, while embracing people living with and affected by HIV in Pacific communities. These thematic areas include: 1.Prevention Services; 2.Continuum of Treatment, Care and Supportive Systems and Services; 3. Leadership and Enabling Environment; 4. Strategic Information; and 5. Governance.

The 5th AIDS Medium Term Plan (5th AMTP) envisions the halt to the present rate of HIV infection in the Philippines by preventing the further spread of HIV infection and reducing the impact of the disease on individuals, families, communities, and various sectors. It aims to broaden its reach among the general population, especially those most-at-risk and are found to be the present drivers of the epidemic such as Men having Sex with Men (MSM) and People Who Inject Drugs (PWID). 

The new strategy is taking stock of accomplishment made by the Country in addressing the different issues related to HIV. The prevention efforts have branched beyond service coverage for female sex workers and men who have sex with men, extending to different groups of population through various means and approaches. In addition, there has been a major roll out of treatment care and support programs for people living with HIV, with expansion of facility based services.

Although Fiji is estimated to have low HIV prevalence, the number of people diagnosed with HIV is increasing every year. Heterosexual intercourse is the primary reported mode of transmission, and this is not necessarily linked with sex work. The proportion of HIV infections among people tested remained unchanged at approximately 0.1% between 2007 and 2009. A cumulative total of 366 confirmed HIV cases were reported in Fiji between January 1989 and December 2010, though it remains unclear how many of these are still alive, so there is no current baseline of HIV prevalence.
