4 Clear evidence for power of interventions There have been several major breakthroughs for the prevention of HIV through sexual transmission.

5 Falling Costs The Cost of ARV Regimens Reduced by Up to 70% Region: Sub-Saharan Africa Preferred Regimens = Efavirenz (EFV) + Emtricitabine (FTC) + Tenofovir (TDF); Efavirenz (EFV) + Lamivudine (3TC) + Tenofovir (TDF). Source: WHO Price Reporting Mechanism (http://apps.who.int/hiv/amds/price/hdd/) 63% decline since 200370% decline since 2007

6 11% annual decline The Costs of Delivering ART have Dropped by 11% per year for the Last Decade These plots show the estimated non-drug average cost per-patient year of ART for adults. The estimates control for differences in the countries from which the data were collected. Source: Nicolas Menzies, Harvard Center for Health Decision Science.

7 Experience in Getting Results Achieving High Rates of HIV Testing HIV Prevention in Specific Populations Mode of HIV Testing% population HIV tested House-to-House Testing94% coverage in one round Community Mobilization x4 – x8 increase in testing over 3 years. Provider-initiated testing ~50% after one year Reduced HIV Transmission due to counseling and facilitated disclosure.

8 A Hypothetical Scenario: What Would Happen The Totality of Spending on HIV Was Frozen or Cut? Source: Cori, Fraser et al., Forthcoming Zambia Expanded Frozen Cut Expanded Frozen Cut Cut: The ART program is discontinued. Frozen: No need persons are initiated on ART. Expanded: Zambia achieving 80% ART coverage with eligibility at CD4<500. Red line: is "business as usual" -- same policy (350) in place and same patterns of testing/linkage. +700,000 new infections -400,000 new infections +400,000 deaths -200,000 new infections

11 Epidemiological Intelligence Kenya Geographic and Epidemiological Data Can Now Be Triangulated to Identify Foci of HIV Transmission Average Risk of HIV infection for a “low risk women” estimated to vary 10-fold between counties.

12 Prioritizing Resources To Those Foci Can Radically Improve Efficiency, Generating More Health For the Same Budget Usual Prioritization Strategy + Prioritizing Epidemic Foci No Additional HIV Prevention Spending 21% increase in HIV infections averted Note: Assumes buudget of $600M and uniform across locations. The Specific Example of Kenya & Marginal cost per infection averted of new technologies reduced by 66%.

13 With finer scale data even greater impact may be possible. Variation WITHIN a Small District Source: Tanser et al., CROI 2011 (http://www.retroconference.org/2011/Abstracts/41395.htm) & Stover et al., STI 2010http://www.retroconference.org/2011/Abstracts/41395.htm 5.7% of study area. 1 in 3 new HIV infections Age group Men Women Variation by AGE in populations > 50% of infections occur among men and women aged < 25 years Distribution of New HIV Infections

14 … And Moves The Epidemic Towards a Tipping Point, at which a Foreseeable Vaccine Could Effectively Terminate Epidemics + Vaccine
