22. HIV Epidemic Control: Measuring Progress Toward 2020 and 2030
Description This training workshop will focus on HIV epidemic control and outline what specific programme activities are necessary to achieve it, and which surveillance components should be in place in order that it can be measured. The workshop will also present current country experiences towards achieving epidemic control. HIV epidemic control is defined as the […]
23. HIV Drug Resistance Prevention and Assessment
Background Since its introduction, antiretroviral (ARV) drug therapy has dramatically reduced morbidity and mortality associated with HIV infection. The use of combination drug therapies can significantly improve HIV patients’ chances for long-term survival. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of ARV therapy can be markedly reduced by the emergence of drug resistance. Successful treatment of HIV requires […]
24. Getting to Zero: PrEP, treatment for all and differentiated care to reduce incidence and mortality
Background This training workshop describes the major role that pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV acquisition and treatment as prevention have in reducing HIV incidence and mortality, and bringing the epidemic under control. As of September 2015, WHO recommends that people at substantial risk of HIV infection should be offered PrEP as an additional prevention […]
26. Using HIV Care and Treatment Cascades to Improve 90-90-90 Targets
Background The main objective of the course is to enhance the skills of participants in analysis and use of the HIV “care cascade”, which is used to determine the magnitude of the losses and gaps along the continuum of HIV care and to explore reasons for these losses. The HIV care cascade is a way […]
4. HIV Case-Based Surveillance and Patient Monitoring
Background HIV case-based reporting and patient monitoring is essential for ensuring quality and continuity of HIV care and treatment by generating data along the course of HIV disease from diagnosis to entry into care, initiation of ART and viral suppression. It enables programmes to monitor the treatment and health status of patients over time, and […]
25. Measuring service coverage and impact of HIV interventions in key and vulnerable populations
Online Training CourseSeptember 28 - October 2, 2020 Background Adequate programmatic service coverage levels among key populations affected by the HIV epidemic, namely female sex workers , people who inject drugs , men who have sex with men ) and transgender persons, is a critical component for achieving HIV epidemic control. Real-time programmatic data are increasingly available […]
Population Size Estimation of Key Populations and HIV Prevention Cascades
Online Training CourseEstablishing the size of various populations at risk for HIV has been identified as one of the greatest challenges in HIV surveillance and in developing estimates of HIV prevalence and incidence. Reliable estimates of the size of populations at high risk for HIV are important for prioritizing target populations, planning HIV prevention services, measuring coverage […]
Data-driven HIV programming to reach HIV epidemic control
Online Training CourseLearning Objectives This training workshop will focus on data-driven strategies that enable to optimize HIV interventions and achieve progress towards HIV epidemic control in diverse settings and population groups. New testing and treatment targets that UNAIDS proposed for 2025 adopt the more ambitious 95% objectives: 95% of people living with HIV need to be diagnosed, […]
HIV surveillance in key populations
24-28 October 2022 Description The aim of the course is to provide participants with practical guidance on how to design bio-behavioural HIV surveys and conduct estimation of the size of key populations (female sex workers , people who inject drugs , men who have sex with men ) and transgender persons), conduct these studies, and […]
HIV Surveillance in Key Populations, 16-20 October 2023
Description The aim of the course is to provide participants with practical guidance on how to design bio-behavioural HIV surveys and conduct estimation of the size of key populations (female sex workers , people who inject drugs , men who have sex with men ) and transgender persons), conduct these studies, and analyze, interpret and […]
Virtual Training Workshop on HIV strategic information and programme monitoring in key populations, 13-17 May 2024
Background The global epidemic of HIV has led to unprecedented attention and commitment from governmements and the international community to improve access to HIV prevention and treatment. The need to better document the effectiveness of HIV prevention and treatment programmes and to do this with the most robust methods possible is widely recognized. Strategic information […]
Simplified bio-behavioural surveys (BBS-Lite) and HIV data use, 5-9 May 2025
Description Reliable and timely available HIV data are crucial for tracking of the epidemic, program management and program evaluation activities. The aim of the course is to provide participants with practical guidance on how to design bio-behavioural survey “lite” (BBS-Lite), which is a programme-based survey method recently recommended by WHO and UNAIDS for collecting a […]
