The implementation of the National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan 2010/11–2014/15 enabled the country to continue its progress towards universal access to HIV and AIDS services. The National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan 2015/2016 –2019/2020 (NSP) will build on the previous efforts, pursuing the same objective, with inspiration from the global targets of “Zero new HIV infections, Zero HIV-related deaths and Zero stigma and discrimination due to HIV”.
As Tanzania strives to reach middle income status, the health sector has resolved to give more attention to the quality of health services in tandem with the pursuit of universal access. At the same time, better health for the entire population will be promoted through the adoption of health in all policies. The overall objective of HSSP IV is to reach all households with essential health and social welfare services, meeting, as much as possible, the expectations of the population, adhering to objective quality standards, and applying evidence-informed interventions through efficient channels of service delivery.
These integrated HIV Management Guidelines provide the standards and recommendations to move Swaziland forward in achieving the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland’s vision of zero new infections and ending AIDS. To achieve this vision we need a concerted effort from all stakeholders and at all levels of service delivery to translate these guidelines into action while ensuring delivery of quality services and efficient use of limited resources.
The new consolidated guidelines provide standardized, simplified and less toxic drug combinations harmonized for the management of Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT), children, adolescents and adults with HIV/AIDS, TB and other common opportunistic infections. It will provide guidance for clinicians, managers and trainers on the use of available regimens within the context of continuum of HIV comprehensive care for prevention, treatment and support for all age groups in private and public sector to realize our vision of a long and healthy life for all citizens. This approach will also ensure that people living with HIV are started on the right regimen at the right time.
Em Moçambique, a pandemia do HIV/SIDA é assumida como um dos desafios de âmbito multissectorial. No que concerne ao Serviço Nacional de Saúde, múltiplas acções integradas têm sido implementadas nos últimos anos pelo Ministério da Saúde (MISAU) com vista a alargar as medidas de prevenção, diagnóstico e o início atempado dos cuidados e tratamento, sendo que em 2013 foi implementado o Plano de Aceleração de Resposta ao HIV e SIDA, que contempla nos seus objectivos a expansão dos Serviços TARV e a melhoria da qualidade assistencial.
The fifth edition of these guidelines represents a determined commitment of the government to achieve and contribute to the ambitious global target of reaching 90-90-90 by 2020, which aims to diagnose 90% of people living with HIV, place 90% of those diagnosed on ART, and suppress HIV viral replication in 90% of those on ART by 2020. Reaching these goals will help reverse and end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Lesotho has one of the highest HIV prevalences in the world at 23% and an estimated 319,000 people living with HIV.

The information contained within this handbook is a condensed version of the full 2016 HIV Integrated Clinical Care Guidelines and reflects the latest scientific updates on HIV care from around the world. As we launch the ‘Treat All’ Strategy, let us appreciate how far we have come in the struggle against HIV in Botswana. When we first started the ART Programme in 2002, no one dreamt that today we would be poised to become one of the few countries in the world to achieve the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. No one could have ever imagined that by 2016 Botswana would ben near to virtually eliminating Mother-to-Child transmission and have rolled-out ART services to all hospitals and over 600 clinics – but we did it. Now with the New HIV “Treat All” Strategy, we have the opportunity to finally gain epidemiologic control of HIV after over 16 years of relentless efforts. What better way to pay our respects to the thousands of Batswana who have lost their lives to HIV.
