Tackling S&D for improved HIV prevention and treatment is particularly critical in GMR countries of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Myanmar and Thailand, given that the epidemic is concentrated and growing amongst groups who face not only HIV-related S&D, but also the underlying and HIV-associated stigmas of sex work, drug use, gender identity, and same-sex relationships.

Development of new, simpler, more effective and affordable compounds will continue to be essential for attaining the goal of putting at least 15 million people on ART by 2015, as set forth in the 2011 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS.2 To this end, pharmaceutical industry leaders moved seven compounds into phase III studies in 2010 and 2011, and seven compounds into phase II. The focus of development is on compounds that can be taken as a single pill once daily, thus simplifying treatment, improving adherence, and reducing the risk of stockout-induced resistance to individual drugs.

The technical summary of the Drug Use in Pakistan 2013 Report launched during the Commission on Narcotic Drugs reveals how a substantial proportion of Pakistan's population aged 15 to 64 suffer from the devastating consequences of substance abuse. The Report estimates that 5.8 per cent - or 6.4 million adults in Pakistan - used drugs in the last 12 months. Although 4.1 million individuals are thought to be drug dependent, treatment and specialist interventions are in short supply, available to less than 30,000 drug users a year. Moreover, not all structured treatment is free of charge. In a country where almost a quarter of the population is estimated to be living on less than US$ 1.25 a day, the barriers preventing access to structured treatment are exceptionally high.

People who inject drugs should benefit from the large increases in the global resources available for HIV. However, it is difficult to measure how much of global HIV spending actually goes into harm reduction. Although harm reduction is relatively invisible in national and international budgets, it is possible to calculate a plausible estimate of HIVrelated harm reduction expenditure in low and middle income countries between 2007 and 2009. These results demonstrate the degree to which the international community is failing to address the issue of HIV among injecting drug using populations. |
