UNGASS indicators country report

The Annual Report 2015 provides a summary of key activities conducted by the NSACP during 2015 and data on STI and HIV reported from all the STD clinics. NSACP strongly believes in the importance of STI surveillance in the current low HIV prevalence context.

By October 31, 2005, the cumulative number of HIV cases reported nationwide was 102,391 cases, of which as many as 16,917 cases were AIDS patients, and 9,862 death cases caused by AIDS.

The compilation of this country report was done by a core group comprised of the NACA (National Advisory Committee on AIDS) Secretariat - MOH, technical advisers from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community and logistic facilitation from the UNAIDS office in Suva.

Fiji recorded their first four cases of HIV in 1989, three being males and one being female. In the ten-year period between 1989 and 1998, Fiji had a total of 46 people diagnosed with HIV infections, an average of approximately 5 persons per year. In the five-year period between 1999 and 2003, a total of 96 new cases have been diagnosed with HIV, with the two highest figures being 26 in 2002 and 31 in 2003.

The scale above shows the number of people living with HIV and AIDS patients newly reported based on the Infectious Disease Control Law. The people who had already been reported as living with HIV and who had subsequently developed AIDS were excluded from the legal report.

Pakistan at present is categorized as "Low-Prevalence High Risk" country for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.

The first case of HIV/AIDS in a Sri Lankan was reported in 1987 and the first indigenous transmission of HIV was reported in 1989. The National Working Group on HIV Estimates convened by the National STD/AIDS Control Programme (NSACP) estimates the current burden of decease as between 4700 (low) to 7200 (high).

The proposed generic reporting format is meant to assist National AIDS Councils (or equivalent) in drafting their national report to be submitted to the UN General Assembly on biennial basis as a follow-up to the Declaration of Commitment (DoC) signed in June 2001 at the UNGASS on HIV/AIDS.
