Description:The Swaziland HIV Incidence Measurement Survey 2 (SHIMS2) was a household-based national survey conducted between August 2016 and March 2017 to measure the impact of Swaziland’s national HIV response on HIV incidence and viral load suppression. SHIMS2 offered household- based HIV counseling and testing with return of results and collected information about uptake of HIV care and treatment services. This is the second survey to estimate national HIV incidence and viral load suppression. Previous measurements were conducted in SHIMS1 in 2011.
SHIMS2 was led by the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland (GKoS) through the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Central Statistical Office (CSO). The survey was conducted with funding from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and through technical assistance and partnership with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). SHIMS2 was implemented by ICAP at Columbia University in collaboration with government entities, including the Health Research Unit, Swaziland Health Laboratory Services (SHLS), Swaziland National AIDS Program (SNAP), Health Promotion Unit, Environmental Health Department, and National Emergency Response Council on HIV/AIDS (NERCHA). GKoS local and international development partners participated in steering committees and task teams during study implementation.
This project is supported by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through CDC under the terms of cooperative agreements #U2GGH001271 and #U2GGH001226.
