Reliable information about the number of people at high risk of HIV infection is increasingly recognized as one of the most critical pieces of information required by public health planners to understand and respond to the spread of HIV. A Focus on most-at-risk |
 | What are the goals and objectives of your national strategic plan? On the Epidemic In 2007, about 5 million Asians were living with HIV, while approximately 440,000 people were newly-infected with the virus. During the year 300,000 people died of AIDS-related diseases. Asia’s HIV pandemic is now entering a second growth phase, which could see HIV prevalence soar. By 2020, nearly 10 million Asians will be infected if prevention efforts are not expanded and fully implemented. Both the doomsday scenarios of ever-expanding epidemics and the notion that Asia’s epidemics will automatically ‘run out of steam’ are misplaced. Download this publication |
| Background on Prevention of Mother-to-child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Programmes Of the 33.2 million people living with HIV worldwide at the end of 2007, 2.5 million were children under the age of 15 years. In 2007 alone, 420,000 children were newly infected with HIV—about 1,150 new infections in children each day. The most frequent source of HIV infection in infants and children is transmission from mother-to-child during pregnancy, labour and delivery, or breastfeeding. Comprehensive programmes for prevention of mother- to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT)—including ARV therapy and prophylaxis—can significantly reduce the number of infants who are HIV-infected and promote better health for their mothers and families.

Based on experience in Swaziland and Guyana, the ASAP HIV/AIDS Costing Model incorporates key features of existing costing models (including the concept of target groups and coverage levels from RMN and the functional classification from NASA) into an approach specifically designed for costing HIV/AIDS strategies. It follows a logical menu-driven sequence of steps to walk the user through various set-up, mapping and costing processes, with the end result being a fully costed strategic plan. The level of detail to be included in the costing is entirely up to the user. Download this publication |

| The primary audience for this training is AIDS programme managers – individuals who have the authority and primary responsibility for managing national AIDS programmes. The secondary audience includes people who can influence decision-making about the programme. Among these may be people in the office of the head of state responsible for interministerial coordination of AIDS activities; people in the Ministry of Health responsible for prevention, health education and health care; staff of other ministries such as education and planning; members of national and provincial AIDS coordinating committees including PLHA group representatives; and people working at the national level in international organizations that support national programmes. This training course will be repeated periodically to take account of the turnover of people in these key positions. The training course will initially be provided at the regional level, and may then be tailored to national needs and provided within countries, for state or provincial AIDS programme managers.
