D.3

Indicator for monitoring eradication of the epidemic. Percentage of persons: (i) living with HIV (ii) with HIV who are receiving treatment (iii) undergoing comprehensive HIV treatment who succeed in suppressing the viral load.

Definition:

1. 1. Ratio between (i) numerator: total number of people living with HIV, and (ii) denominator: total population.
  2. Ratio between (i) numerator: total number of people with HIV infection currently receiving antiretroviral treatment, and (ii) denominator: total number of people with HIV infection.
  3. Ratio between (i) numerator: total number of people with antiretroviral treatment who succeeded in suppressing the viral load, and (ii) denominator: total number of people receiving comprehensive treatment.

The three indicators are expressed per 100 people

Notes:

Access to antiretroviral treatment (ARV) is understood to be included in comprehensive treatment for HIV.

WHO and UNAIDS compile information and develop Related indicator(s), which may be useful in the case of countries that do not have the information.

H.87 - Traditional medicine and indigenous health practices.

Guarantee indigenous peoples’ right to health, including sexual rights and reproductive rights, and their right to their own traditional medicines and health practices, especially as regards reducing maternal and child mortality considering their socio-territorial and cultural specificities as well as the structural factors that hinder the exercise of this right.

Ensure that Afro-descendent persons, in particular Afro-descendent girls, adolescents and women, can exercise the right to health, especially the right to sexual health and reproductive health, taking into account the specific socioterritorial and cultural features and the structural factors, such as racism, that hinder the exercise of their rights.
