1 The State of the Epidemic in 2010 by Professor Alan Whiteside HEARD House of Lords 9 th March 2010 DFID HIV Leaders Meeting

2 ‘Three Threes’  Three exceptional epidemics  Russia and Ukraine  Poor countries with low health spends and mid-range HIV burdens  Hyper-endemic countries of Southern Africa  Three challenges  Prevention  Care and treatment (in light of new guidelines)  Impact mitigation and looking to the next generation  Three critical responses  What works  Who pays  How can it be sustained

11 AIDS Treatment without prevention is mopping the floor while the tap is running

12 AIDS Impacts Sources: Swaziland HIV Estimates and Projections. NERCHA and UNIAIDS Workshop report. 2007 and US Census Bureau International Database

13 Three Critical Responses  What works?  Who pays? (and for what)  Sustainability

14 What Works Prevention of Vertical Transmission Combination prevention Male circumcision Social change Leadership Changing Gender Relations Economic Empowerment Community Mobilisation Treatment

15 Combination HIV Prevention Source: Coates et al. (2008) Behavioural Strategies to Reduce HIV Transmission: How to make them work better. Lancet, 372: 669-684

16 Adherence to HIV Prevention Technologies Source: Coates et al. (2008) Behavioural Strategies to Reduce HIV Transmission: How to make them work better. Lancet, 372: 669-684

17 Who Pays? Source: UNAIDS (2009) What Countries Need, Investments Needed for 2010 Targets. Geneva: UNAIDS

18 Global Resource Needs Source: Estimating the Long-term Global Resource Needs for AIDS through 2031. Draft Working Paper. 2009. AIDS 2031

19 Sustainability Do we agree on importance of AIDS in the global development context and in global health The rich world needs to keep promises Africa needs to honour the Abuja Declaration (Only Botswana and Gambia have achieved this) Treatment is not sustainable without prevention and international commitment Political and financial commitment are both needed

20 Conclusions Targets set in 2005 much has been done MDG targets in Southern Africa not sure? Should we change targets (treatment)? Keeping ‘exceptional’ epidemics on the agenda? Moving forward? Who makes decisions? Partnerships?
