A key feature of the elimination initiative is its focus on improving the health and survival of women and children in the context of HIV/STIs.  This target underscores that PPTCT interventions do not end at delivery, and emphasizes the importance of linking HIV-infected children with lifesaving care and treatment.
 
MEASURE OF TARGET NUMERATOR DENOMINATOR METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
Percentage of HIV-infected children (aged 0-14 years) who are currently receiving ART
(UA Indicator)
Number of children who are receiving antiretroviral therapy in accordance
with the nationally approved treatment protocol (or WHO/UNAIDS standards)
at the end of the reporting period
Number of women Estimated number of children with advanced HIV infection Numerator: National programme records drawn from data
collected in ART registers at facilities

Denominator:  Estimated by the method recommended by the UNAIDS/WHO Reference Group on Estimates, Modelling and Projections using Spectrum software

 

ADDITIONAL INDICATORS FOR PROGRAMMATIC TARGET 8
No. Indicator What does it measure Numerator Denominator Method of Measurement
18 % of infants born to HIV-infected women receiving a virological test for HIV within 2 months of birth
(UA Indicator)
The extent to which infants born to HIV-infected women are tested within the first 2 months of life to determine their HIV status,
disaggregated by test results
Number of infants who received an HIV test within 2 months of birth, during the reporting period, disaggregated by test results Including positive, negative, indeterminate, and rejected for testing by the laboratory. Infants tested should only be counted once. The numerator should only include the most recent test result for an infant tested in the first 2 months of life, and not any earlier tests. Estimated number of HIV-infected  pregnant women giving birth in the last 12 months

Numerator:  Collected from databases held at Early Infant Diagnosis testing  laboratories 

Denominator:  Projection model  such as Spectrum*

 

 

20 Percentage of HIV-exposed infants who are receiving exclusive  breastfeeding, replacement feeding or mixed feeding at DPT3 visit (Infants will be aged around 3 months)
(UA Indicator)
Feeding of HIV-exposed infants, derived from 24-h recall, measured at the time of the third dose of diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine (DPT3) The numerators  capture feeding practices only for known HIV-exposed infants who visit a health facility at or around DPT3 visit, and are disaggregated as follows:
10a: Number exclusively breastfeeding
10b: Number receiving replacement feeding
10c: Number receiving mixed feeding
The number of HIV-exposed infants whose feeding practice has been assessed at
DPT3 visit.

Numerator: National programme records aggregated from stand-alone or integrated HIV-exposed registers

Denominator: Total number of exposed infants whose feeding was assessed.

21 Percentage of infants born to HIV- infected women who are started on co-trimoxazole prophylaxis within 2 months of birth
(UA Indicator)
The provision and coverage of co-trimoxazole prophylaxis for HIV-exposed infants in line with international guidelines Number of infants born to HIV-infected women started on co-trimoxazole prophylaxis within 2 months of birth in the past 12 months Estimated number of HIV-infected pregnant women who gave birth in the past 12 months

Numerator: National programme records aggregated from stand-alone or integrated HIV-exposed registers 

Denominator:  Projection model such as Spectrum*

* Multiply the number of women who gave birth in the past 12 months by the most recent national estimate of HIV prevalence in in pregnant women  (which can be derived from HIV sentinel surveillance in antenatal care clinics), if Spectrum projections are unavailable.
