Publications on People Living With HIV (PLHIV)

No new estimates of HIV infection have been available for China since 2003. However, since then, data availability has increased dramatically. This document's objective is to use internationally recommended methods to make new estimates of the number of people exposed to HIV in China, the number living with HIV, and the number of new HIV infections and deaths in 2005.

These fact sheets are intended for use by people recently diagnosed with HIV infection or those who are considering starting HIV treatment.

As part of the process of development of the National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS for 2007-2011, the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with a range of partners, organized, from 5 to 17 February 2007, a review of the health sector response to the HIV epidemic in Indonesia.

This annual meeting provides an opportunity for AIDS managers and WHO to review the progress made in AIDS control over the past year, identify and discuss key constraints, formulate possible strategies for replicating successes, and draft plans for the implementation of those strategies at the national and regional level.

Scientific advances over the past 20 years have shown that drug addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease that results from the prolonged effects of drugs on the brain.

The National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA) is a tool/ method that had been introduced by the UNAIDS Geneva to measure the commitment of a nation in combating a global epidemic disease such as HIV and AIDS.

The aim of the meeting was to discuss how to scale up HIV testing and counselling services, discuss core public health approaches, ethical principles and human rights values to guide the expansion of HIV testing and counselling, and identify and agree on key actions for follow-up at the regional and country level for policy and programme implementation.

The HIV epidemiological situation varies greatly within and between Pacific Island countries and territories (PICT), with epidemics increasing in different places at different speeds and with different intensities. By the end of 2004, many countries were identified as low prevalence epidemics reporting less than 10 HIV infections. While statistics of person living with HIV (PLWH) might appear small in many countries, these can reflect high rates of infection because of their tiny populations—and the potential impact can be great.

The first NBSS on HIV/AIDS 2007, a large population-based survey, obtained statistics on awareness, attitudes, and perceptions about HIV/AIDS and sexual practices among Singaporeans.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is supporting a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention program, which is being implemented in conjunction with the Western Yunnan Roads Development Project (Baolong Highway) in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
