The Global Fund partnership brings together a myriad of strengths: finances; technical expertise; the experience and knowledge of communities affected by HIV, tuberculosis and malaria; innovation; and a capacity for constant evolution. The partners who comprise the Global Fund come with diverse abilities and points of view, yet they share a determination to serve people, to strive for social justice, and to achieve impact against HIV, TB and malaria and ultimately end the epidemics.
This report delivers a summary of the impact and results achieved by end 2015 by programs supported by the Global Fund, showing cumulative progress since 2002. It is a collective effort, combining the strong contributions made by governments, civil society, the private sector and people affected by HIV, TB and malaria.

Responding to the call by the Fourth ASEAN Summit in Singapore in 1992, the ASEAN Task Force on AIDS (ATFOA) was established to implement regional activities on health and HIV and AIDS. ATFOA aims to curb and monitor the spread of HIV, and its work has been guided by global commitments on HIV and a series of work plans. HIV in the ASEAN Region is the second ASEAN Regional Report on HIV and AIDS and reports on the achievements of ASEAN Member States (AMS) in implementing the 4th ATFOA work plan for the period 2011 – 2015. In this period, AMS have been working towards the achievement of ambitious country-set targets under the umbrella of the UNAIDS 2011-2015 strategy, Getting to Zero and guided by the goals enshrined in the 2011 ASEAN Declaration of Commitment: Getting to Zero New HIV Infections, Zero Discrimination, Zero AIDS-Related Deaths (Annex One).

Scientific evidence is essential for policies and programmes to advance the vision of UNAIDS of zero HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. New scientific information is becoming available at a rapid pace, and many of the findings are potentially important to guide future action against AIDS. To ensure this, UNAIDS has access to the latest scientific developments; a UNAIDS Scientific Expert Panel was established to advise UNAIDS on major new scientific discoveries and research evidence as well as research gaps and strategic AIDS research needs. The Scientific Expert Panel comprises more than 40 scientists from around the world with expertise in a wide range of disciplines, including epidemiology, behavioural science, virology, diagnostics, pathogenesis, immunology, treatment, prevention and cure.
This 2016 report, in its second year of publication, captures the key advances in biomedical science on HIV during 2015 and provides a glimpse of the new research that can be anticipated in 2016.

The vision of the SAARC Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS Centre is to be the leading institute to support and guide SAARC Member States to make the region free of TB and HIV/AIDS and the mission is to support the efforts of National TB and HIV/AIDS Control Programmes through evidence based policy guidance, coordination and technical support.
This is the 14th report on HIV epidemiology. This report "SAARC Epidemiological Response on HIV and AIDS – 2016" has incorporated the updated information and brief analysis on HIV/AIDS as of December 2015. It includes statistical information and brief analysis on HIV & AIDS and describes HIV/AIDS situation in global, regional and SAARC member states.

Cities are at the forefront of global development: taking a leading role in national agendas and delivering on global targets. Urban strategies and actions are central to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, including ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. To achieve the end of AIDS, cities must meet the 90-90-90 target for HIV treatment by 2020 and reach ambitious milestones for preventing new HIV infections and eliminating stigma and discrimination.
This report testifies to the many actions and achievements of cities around the world in responding to the AIDS epidemic. By exploring and celebrating these efforts and outcomes, we can learn and inspire other pioneers to explore innovative, local solutions to ending their urban AIDS epidemics, especially in cities that are lagging behind.
Resource | Guidelines,
These guidelines provide guidance on the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, the use of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs for treating and preventing HIV infection and the care of people living with HIV. They are structured along the continuum of HIV testing, prevention, treatment and care.
Implementing all the recommendations in these guidelines at the national and global levels will have important implications for programme priority-setting, funding and service delivery. As in 2013, operational guidance is included to help countries as they work to implement new approaches and strengthen the treatment cascade. These guidelines include 10 new recommendations to improve the quality and efficiency of services to people living with HIV. Implementation of the recommendation on universal eligibility for ART will mean that more people will start ART earlier. Importantly, in this guidance WHO emphasizes the need for differentiated approaches to care for people who are stable on ART, such as reducing the frequency of clinic visits and community ART distribution. Such efficiencies are essential if countries with a high burden of HIV infection are to manage their growing numbers of people receiving ART and reduce the burden on people receiving treatment and health facilities.

The National Strategic Plan III (2017-2023) reflects the progress made in achieving a clearer understanding of the challenges posed by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and also the increasing unity of purpose among all the stakeholders, who are driven by a shared vision to attain the highest impact towards our long-term vision of ending the AIDS epidemic as public health threat in Bhutan.
The National Strategic Plan III outlines key interventions to bring the country close to the realization of its vision. Since the detection of first case in 1993, much has been done and much achieved. Building on strong leadership of our benevolent Kings and political commitments, the NSP III highlights the collective and effective interventions to break the HIV and AIDS chain.

The scope of HIV prevention and treatment options has never been wider than it is today. The world now has the scientific knowledge and experience to reach people with HIV options tailored to their lives in the communities in which they live. This life-cycle approach to HIV ensures that we find the best solutions for people throughout their lifetime.
In this report, UNAIDS is announcing that 18.2 million people now have access to HIV treatment. The Fast-Track response is working. Increasing treatment coverage is reducing AIDS-related deaths among adults and children. But the life-cycle approach has to include more than just treatment. Tuberculosis (TB) remains among the commonest causes of illness and death among people living with HIV of all ages, causing about one third of AIDSrelated deaths in 2015. These deaths could and should have been prevented.
