Treatment 2015 launch
The agreed target…
.. and focusing on treatment is strategic
Treatment continues to expand 2003 2015
Gaps in global antiretroviral coverage under the 2010 and 2013 WHO HIV treatment guidelines Total eligible: 18,563,000 28,600,000 2010 guidelines* 2013 guidelines* 14,000,000 66% 39% *Numbers of people receiving treatment in December 2012 versus (a) the numbers eligible in December 2012 under the 2010 WHO guidelines; (b) the numbers eligible in December 2013, under the 2013 WHO guidelines. Eligible but not receiving treatment Eligible and receiving treatment

The agreed target is still ambitious… …and is a stepping stone towards treatment for all in need

Challenges ahead: 1- Societal Lack of knowledge of HIV status Punitive policies and laws Stigma and discrimination
Challenges ahead: 2- diverse facility level costs Cost of treatment per ART patient year by country US Dollars Challenges ahead: 2- diverse facility level costs South Africa* Maximum US$682 Average US$ Minimum US$278 US$232 US$186 US$136 *Republic of South Africa: costs include updated antiretroviral prices, which were renegotiated by the RSA government in early 2010 and are 53% lower than those observed during the costing period.
Challenges ahead: 3- treatment cascade Sources: 1. UNAIDS 2012 estimates; 2. Demographic and Health Surveys, 2007–2011 (www.measuredhs.com); 3. Kranzer, K., van Schaik, N., et al. (2011), PLoS ONE; 4. GARPR 2012; 5. Barth R E, van der Loeff MR, et al. (2010), Lancet Infect Disease. Notes: No systematic data are available for the proportion of people living with HIV who are linked to care, although this is a vital step to ensuring viral suppression in the community.
Challenges ahead: 4- delivery systems Relative likelihood of HIV-positive adults (15-49 years) accessing antiretroviral therapy due to the distance from their nearest primary healthcare facility. Source: Location, Location: Connecting people faster to HIV services, UNAIDS; Geneva, 2013
Challenges ahead: 5- Key populations and partners a substantial share of new infections Nigeria 51% Kenya about 33% Mozambique more than 25% Morocco 80% Dominican Rep. 47% Peru 65%
HIV treatment can normalize survival Expected impact of HIV treatment in survival of a 20 years old person living with HIV in a high income setting (different periods)
What we can achieve Projected annual AIDS-related deaths, assuming scale up to 95% coverage by 2020
