Description:
First report, December 2017

The Zambia Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment (ZAMPHIA), a household-based national survey, was conducted between March and August 2016 to measure the status of Zambia’s national HIV response. ZAMPHIA offered HIV counseling and testing with return of results and collected information about uptake of HIV care and treatment services.

This survey is the first in Zambia to measure national HIV incidence, viral load suppression (VLS), and pediatric HIV prevalence. The results provide information on national and subnational progress toward control of the HIV epidemic and Zambia’s progress toward the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 90-90-90 treatment targets. ZAMPHIA was led by the government of the Republic of Zambia through the Ministry of Health (MOH) and conducted with funding from PEPFAR and with technical assistance through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The survey was implemented by ICAP at Columbia University in collaboration with the statistical survey research corporation Westat and local partners, including the Central Statistical Office (CSO), Tropical Diseases Research Centre (TDRC), University of Zambia (UNZA), and the University Teaching Hospital (UTH).

Multiple HIV-related measures, such as CD4 T-cell count distribution, prevalence of detectable antiretrovirals (ARVs), and HIV drug resistance were also assessed to characterize the HIV epidemic in Zambia and provide greater clarity on the impact of the national HIV program. Some of these measures will not appear in this report but will be incorporated in the final ZAMPHIA report. In addition, the survey collected information on selected behaviors typically associated with HIV acquisition and transmission and on common HIV comorbidities and other health conditions.

This project has been supported by the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the terms of cooperative agreement #U2GGh001226. The findings and conclusions in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of the funding agencies.
