Description:The global AIDS update, “Miles to Go,” released by UNAIDS in July 2018, acknowledges global achievements and progress made towards reaching the organization’s “90-90-90” targets, which call for 90 percent of people living with HIV (PLHIV) to be identified, 90 percent of identified PLHIV to be placed on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 90 percent of PLHIV on ART to be virally suppressed by 2020. The report highlights that three quarters of PLHIV globally knew their status by the end of 2017. Among PLHIV who knew their status, 79 percent were accessing ART, and 81 percent of people accessing ART had suppressed viral loads. In Eastern and Southern Africa, the regions that are home to more than half (53 percent) of the world’s 36.9 million PLHIV have observed a 30 percent reduction in new HIV infections between 2010 and 2017.1 Innovative strategies that support the accelerated scale-up of evidence-based prevention interventions to achieve population-level declines in new HIV infections are a key part of the HIV response.
