WHO recommendations on infant feeding and HIV were last revised in 2006 (published in 2007 as an HIV and Infant Feeding Update – ISBN 978 92 4 159596 41). Significant programmatic experience and research evidence regarding HIV and infant feeding have accumulated since then. In particular, evidence has been reported that antiretroviral (ARV) interventions to either the HIV-infected mother or HIV-exposed infant can significantly reduce the risk of postnatal transmission of HIV through breastfeeding. This has major implications for how women living with HIV might choose to feed their infants, and how health workers should counsel mothers when making these choices. The potential of ARVs to reduce HIV transmission throughout the period of breastfeeding also highlights the need for guidance on how child health services should communicate information about ARVs to prevent transmission through breastfeeding, and the implications for feeding of HIV exposed infants through the first two years of life.

This document provides technical guidance to countries on setting ambitious, but achievable national targets for scaling up towards universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care for injecting drug users (IDUs). This document has been developed collaboratively by three United Nations (UN) agencies (the World Health Organization [WHO], United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime [UNODC] and Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS [UNAIDS]) and international experts in the field.

The guideline Antiretroviral therapy for HIV Infection in Adults and Adolescents, developed by World Health Organization (WHO), was first published in 2002, simplified in 2003 and was updated in 2006. The guideline continues to follow the principles of a public health approach, aiming to optimize outcomes, including the quality of life and survival, of people living with HIV (PLHIV), and to act as a reference tool for countries to adopt and adapt according to their national circumstances.

The World Health Organization (WHO) worked on the revision of the Use of antiretroviral drugs for treating pregnant women and preventing HIV infection in infants: recommendations for a public health approach, 2006, through a series of coordinated efforts to review and synthesize emerging evidence. The aim was to identify evidence-based recommendations that would be likely to deliver high quality care. The evidence and its quality, risks and benefits, acceptability, feasibility, cost and financial implications, were considered by the Guideline Review Committee and the Peer Review Group, who agreed on a series of updated recommendations.

This toolkit provides a table of output indicators that includes several program- or project-level indicators. This is to ensure the selection of indicators that can be routinely reported for areas in which countries have requested substantial funds from the Global Fund. This table also includes indicators for services provided by civil society or community-based organizations. International and national M&E experts and donors have selected, discussed and agreed on these indicators in a workshop in Pretoria. More Global Fund M&E tools are available at The Global Fund Website. Download this publication |

The HIV Sentinel Surveillance (HSS) system in India involves carrying out cross-sectional facility and Targetted Intervention (TI) based HIV sero-prevalence surveys at regular intervals among selected population groups. These populations are also referred to as "sentinel groups". With HSS, the trends in HIV infection are monitored over the period of time by group and by site. Download this publication |
