Using country-level variables to discover country clusters beyond traditional health policy and performance metrics: An unsupervised machine learning approach for HIV healthcare delivery and financing
HIV remains a major public health challenge, with 1.4 million new infections and 31.6 million people accessing antiretroviral treatment in 2024. In many countries, HIV services have been provided through vertical programs, which, although highly successful in bringing treatment to people living with HIV since the early 2000s, are unlikely to sustain progress beyond donor dependency. The increasing push towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC), whi…
The next and last pandemics – The consequences of Covid-19 and its impact on the HIV/Aids response
Planning and sustaining HIV response in the countries of the “risky middle”
This paper focusses on high-HIV middle-income countries termed the “risky middle”, i.e. characterised by a typology based on HIV burden and gross national income (GNI), according to which seven countries — Lesotho, Eswatini, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Namibia and Zambia — are identified. There is particular concern for “people left behind”, the factors determining a country’s ability to mobilise resources in the context of multiple development ne…
Revitalizing the HIV response in Pakistan: A systematic review and policy implications
The Global HIV Epidemics among Sex Workers
Since the beginning of the epidemic sex workers have experienced a heightened burden of HIV across settings, despite their higher levels of HIV protective behaviors (UNAIDS, 2009). Unfairly, sex workers have often been framed as 'vectors of disease' and 'core transmitters' rather than workers and human beings with rights in terms of HIV prevention and beyond. By gaining a deeper understanding of the epidemiologic and broader policy and social con…
Implementing for results: Program analysis of the HIV/STI interventions for sex workers in Benin
HIV response has entered a new era shaped by evidence that the combination of interventions impacts the trajectory of the epidemic. Even proven interventions, however, can be ineffective if not to scale, appropriately implemented, and with the right combination. Benin is among the pioneering countries that prioritized HIV prevention for sex workers and clients early on. Effective implementation up to 2006 resulted in consistent condom use among s…
