The toolkit is a collection of assessment tools and checklists that describe the key considerations to be taken into account when transitioning to Option B/B+. The toolkit provides a roadmap to support the planning and implementation of Option B/B+, and to help countries scale up more effective interventions and programs to achieve the goals of the Global Plan Towards the Elimination of New HIV Infections among Children by 2015 and Keeping their Mothers Alive.
This Children and AIDS: Fifth Stocktaking Report examines current data, trends and the progress that’s been made − pointing out disparities in access, coverage and outcomes − and calls for concrete actions to benefit the millions of children, women and families worldwide who bear the burden of the epidemic.
This Fourth Stocktaking Report highlights progress made and challenges that remain in scaling up services for women, children and young people affected by the epidemic, and it calls for concerted action and continued commitments amid economic difficulties that affect all countries.
This report reviews advances made over the past year or so in four areas where HIV and AIDS affect children. It finds that most countries have made important gains in preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV and in paediatric treatment. Some countries have made progress towards HIV prevention goals,and more AIDS-affected children are benefiting from protection, care and support services. But much more remains to be done. The report also explains the need for improved norms, standards and guidelines to ensure effective implementation of programmes.
This policy brief provides antiretroviral therapy programme managers, implementing partners, procurement and supply chain managers, and other relevant stakeholders with key points to consider before and during the introduction of the new dosage form of ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (LPV/r) oral pellets.
While there are many separate indicators related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and HIV, a key challenge has been the lack of internationally agreed indicators to measure progress in linking SRH and HIV. This SRH and HIV Linkages Compendium contains a focused set of indicators and related assessment tools that have relevance to tracking the links between SRH and HIV programmes at national and sub-national levels.
Each indicator includes an overview, a brief description of its relevance to SRH and HIV linkages, and a hyperlink to a detailed definition. All the indicators in this compendium have passed through a rigorous evaluation based on the indicator standards of the UNAIDS Monitoring and Evaluation Reference Group.
In response to a longstanding demand for a heat-stable and easy to administer formulation of ritonavir boosted lopinavir (LPV/r) for infants and young children, a new formulation in pellet form is now available.
This fact sheet provides simplified information to facilitate proper dosing and administration of lopinavir and ritonavir 40mg/10mg oral pellets.
This compendium of case studies showcases innovative approaches to integrated HIV-SRH service delivery for improving MNCH outcomes, and strengthening health and community systems. It is hoped that the 11 case studies included in this publication will help to inform future programming by providing examples of promising practices related to integration in sub-Saharan Africa in order to extrapolate the common elements of, and barriers to, effective integrated service delivery.
This publication is an update of the 2005 guidelines for measuring national HIV prevalence in population-based surveys of the UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance.
The purpose of the revised guidelines is to assist programme officers in monitoring the HIV epidemic and the impact of the country’s AIDS response by designing and implementing population-based surveys that include HIV infection, sexually transmitted infections, and other bloodborne biomarkers.
