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.

Dans la région de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre, le Cameroun est le deuxième pays, après le Nigeria, où le poids de l'épidémie de VIH est considérable. Malgré l'importance de l'épidémie, le pays adhère à la vision stratégique de l'ONUSIDA pour atteindre l'objectif 90/90/90 pour le traitement du VIH d'ici à 2020, L'importance des problèmes de santé publique auxquels le Cameroun doit faire face dans les prochaines années.

The National Plan for Accelerating HIV Care and Treatment in Kenya 2015-2017 defines the key strategies and actions that need to be undertaken by the national and county governments to contribute to meeting the 90-90-90 targets articulated in the Kenya AIDS Strategic framework by 2019.

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.
