HIV population-based surveys measure reach and impact of HIV programs in countries most affected by the HIV epidemic. These surveys offer household-based HIV counseling and testing, with immediate return of results. Survey staff ask questions about access to prevention, care and treatment services for adults and children. Results measure progress toward UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals and guide policy and funding priorities. This session focuses on preliminary results from PEPFAR-funded Population-based HIV Impact Assessments (PHIA), implemented by ICAP in partnership with US CDC, and Ministries of Health in Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire and Namibia, and from the South African National HIV Prevalence, Incidence and Behaviour Survey (SABSSM V), conducted by a research consortium led by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC). These recent survey data provide new insights into the West and Central African HIV epidemics, and allow a comparison with data from South Africa and other high prevalence settings.
