Summary of the epidemic in ESA
Remarkable progress has been made in the region
–
–
–
–
Significant increase in ART and PMTCT coverage
Significant decline in AIDS deaths and in TB/HIV deaths
Important declines in new adult and child HIV infections
Funding support for the HIV response has been extraordinary
and has enabled countries to significantly expand their
responses
– Increased focus on improving effectiveness and efficiency of
the response

New targets post 2015
Why new targets are needed
New targets are needed for four reasons:
1) Targets drive progress
2) New scientific evidence has emerged
3) New targets are needed to guide action
4) Bold new targets to end the epidemic
demonstrates that AIDS is a winnable fight

Ending AIDS, leaving no one behind
• Too many people are left behind today – a challenge
• 12 populations left behind by AIDS response (Sex workers, men
who have sex with men; bisexual, transgender and intersex people; prisoners;
people who inject drugs; migrant workers, people with disabilities; and women and
girls)
• Need to address stigma and discrimination
• Close the gap between people who are reached with HIV
services and people who are not
• Require research and innovation combined with protective
laws
